Audlem is a stunning little town with a striking church and high street. Nice to see a place decked out with Union Flags.

I made the route start from Moreton Say, a really attractive village with free parking near the village pond.

This is one of a number of attractive pools along the route--great place to stop for a rest.

Audlem is an attractive place--beware of the traffic if you are on bike though!

St Alkmund’s Church is a captivating Grade I-listed building. Founded in 912 AD, the church was initially built of white stone, which is why the town is called Whitechurch. However, in 1711 the tower collapsed and had to be rebuilt in red sandstone ashlar, which is why the ‘white church’ looks a little redder than you might expect.

The church of St Swithun in Cheswardine. First built in the 13th centaury with the tower added in the late 15th centaury and then several modifications since. It's now a grade 2 listed building. As a different rider said the deep porch is useful to escape the rain.

The parish church, dedicated to St Swithun, overlooks Cheswardine from the hill at the top of the village. This is at least the third church on this site, and was rebuilt in 1887 - 1889 under the direction of the esteemed architect John Loughborough Pearson, who died before the work was completed. The work was completed with the assistance of funding by the then squire of the Cheswardine Estate, Charles Donaldson-Hudson, who evidently provided half of the estimated cost of £8,500.

Ruins of a 16th century castle that was ruined during the Civil War. Under the care of English Heritage now and free to wander around. It's an imposing site from the roadside, but getting up close to the building is advised.
