Moss Farm

Cheshire Ring Canal Walk

Loops 97 miles around Greater Manchester and Cheshire via six interconnected canals, mostly flat towpaths with occasional locks and steps. Perfect for families and buggies on individual sections, though full circuit suits experienced walkers only. Dogs welcome on leads near waterways. Showcases industrial heritage, aqueducts, and surprising countryside pockets between urban stretches—ideal for breaking into manageable day walks with plenty of waterside pub stops.

North Cheshire Way

Spans varied terrain from canal towpaths and woodland trails to open farmland with gentle to moderate inclines throughout. Generally accessible for older children used to longer distances, though muddy sections and stiles make it unsuitable for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. This long-distance route showcases Cheshire's pastoral countryside, historic market towns, and peaceful waterways—ideal for tackling in day-long sections rather than one go.

Saltscape Trail

Winds through Cheshire's historic salt-mining landscape, revealing industrial heritage and wetland habitats on mostly flat, well-maintained paths. Family-friendly and buggy-suitable on surfaced sections, though some rural stretches can be muddy after rain. Dogs welcome throughout. The mix of canal towpaths, nature reserves, and heritage sites around Northwich makes this fascinating for history buffs and wildlife watchers alike, with plenty of shorter loop options available.
