Cheshire – Year Round Walks

These 20 circular walks, varying in length from 3.5 to 7.5 miles, take in some of Cheshire's favourite landmarks. The routes have been divided into seasons to show each at its very best.

Recommendations include:
Spring: Macclesfield Forest with its herons' nests, and the bluebell woods near Dutton.
Summer: spot seals near Hilbre Island and take in views of Cheshire's Peak District
Autumn: admire the blazing colours of the beech woods at Alderley Edge and Anderton
Winter: look out for merlins and pink-footed geese at Parkgate saltmarshes or admire the sea of snowdrops at Dunham Massey.

The book is produced in full colour with lots of photographs. Each walk entry begins with a description of the terrain, Ordnance Survey Explorer map sheet references, starting point with grid reference, how to get there and parking and refreshment options. The following route finding instructions are laid out in precise numbered paragraphs and are supported by clear sketch maps showing the location of each paragraph number. For each walk an introductory description of its main features is included plus notes on what to look out for.
