„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

From English Heritage : “These two massive Saxon stone crosses dominate the cobbled market square of Sandbach. They are elaborately carved with animals and Biblical scenes including the Nativity of Christ and the Crucifixion, and probably date from the 9th century. They were originally painted as well as carved, and they are among the finest surviving examples of Anglo-Saxon high crosses.”

The plaque says “This is part of the ninth-century cross that was erected in 1578 to mark a charter granting Sandbach a weekly market. This piece survived Protestant extremists' attempts to destroy it and helped inspire the restoration of the crosses in 1810.”

Nice stretch of a premium gravel for a fast ride

Cyclists are asked to dismount on part of the trail due to rabbit burrows. Fabulous for families, and hikers too

Nestled within captivating surroundings, Winterley Pool emerges as a favoured fishing lake, offering a tranquil haven for both anglers and nature enthusiasts alike. An idea spot to pause and immerse oneself in the breathtaking scenery. Abundant in wildlife, the pool is graced by a resident flock of mute swans.

Nice gravel road. But busy at weekends.

Great spot to stop and rest with some wildlife nearby. Particularly goof for birdwatchers.

Picturesque lake popular with anglers.

As a outsider and new comer from Hong Kong, this route is amazing. All woods cover the whole lane and won’t feel hot.

A rail trail track of about 5 miles. Half-way there's an old station that's been turned into a cafe. A great place to stop for a cup of coffee and some cake.

The Anderton Boat Lift is a tremendous feat of engineering that provides a 50 foot (15.2 m) vertical link between the River Weaver and the Trent and Mersey Canal. The structure was built in 1875 and was used for more than 100 years until it was closed in 1983 due to corrosion. Restoration started in 2001 and the lift reopened in 2002. The structure is designated as a scheduled monument.

Vehicle free route through a lovely wooded lane.
