Synopsis

The official guide to Cheshire's Sandstone Trail - probably the most popular middle-distance walk in Northwest England. The Trail runs for 55 kilometres/34 miles along Cheshire's beautiful and varied central sandstone ridge between Frodsham, on the Mersey Estuary in the north, and Whitchurch, just over the border in Shropshire, in the south.

Compiled and tested by seasoned walkers and local experts, this comprehensive, full colour guide is the perfect companion for weekend strollers and dedicated long-distance walkers alike. Everything you need is here:

  • Clear, easy-to-follow route descriptions - in both directions
  • Detailed, large-scale Ordnance Survey maps of the whole Trail
  • Fascinating explanations of the Trail's geology, history, landscapes, culture and wildlife
  • What to look out for along the way - from castles and caves, to panoramic views and wildlife
  • Over 200 stunning modern and archive photographs
