„Today the Salt Line runs through farmland and woodlands, with streams, pools and rough grassland. Wild primroses brighten up the steep cutting at Roughwood Hollow while later in the year the delicate flowers of scabious and harebell can be seen on the banks. Areas of willow and hazel are coppiced regularly. This is an ancient woodland practice in which trees are cut every few years to produce timber that would have been traditionally used for thatching spars, barrel hoops, hurdles and baskets. Sheltered glades are created where flower and insects thrive, until the trees re-grow and the process begins again. Some areas are managed as wild flower meadows while others are left fairly wild and just cut back enough to keep the path clear. Look out for Bullfinches and Yellowhammers that feed on buds, berries and seeds along the Salt Line.“ Quelle: https://visitcheshire.com/trails/the-salt-line

Cafe was open today. Very nice coffee and a delicious cheese and onion pie

One of the best places in the area to observe a sunset

On or off the canal with ease just before the canal bridge, right next to a lovely country lane

Great picturesque view of the Macclesfield Canal from this quiet road

Well maintained and very smooth path. Must be great to ride in winter

Just off a main road is this quiet country lane which also has a short step free access to good canal path
