Summary:
The Cheshire Circuit begins in Frodsham and initially follows the Sandstone Trail south to Whitchurch, in doing so crossing over the Cheshire border in Shropshire. En route it takes in the Delamere Forest, the Peckforton Hills and the Bickerton Hills. The route then heads east to join the Shropshire Union Canal near Audlem. A mixture of canal, field paths and minor roads are used to follow the course of the River Weaver as closely as possible, passing through the towns of Nantwich, Winsford and Northwich. Frodsham Marsh is crossed to where the River Weaver empties into the Manchester Ship Canal and a return is made to Frodsham. (Source: LDWA)
