Hamlets and Hedgerows    14 miles

Foldout leaflet with map and detailed directions. Hilly ride around the country lanes of Wrenbury and Marbury.

Extracts:
'Explore quaint hamlets and quiet back lanes through this beautiful part of South Cheshire with gentle hills, woodlands and meres. The ride starts in Wrenbury, in front of the majestic sandstone church dating back to the16th century. 

'On a clear day there are fine views of the Peckforton Hills from the top of Wirswall Hill. Look out for Beeston Castle, Jodrell Bank radio telescope and many other landmarks. After freewheeling downhill, stop a while in Marbury and visit its wonderful leaning church overlooking Big Mere. From Marbury, ride along the back lanes through Norbury. 

'After cycling the Llangollen Canal you ride over the distinctive drawbridge at Wrenbury. Enjoy a well earned break to watch the narrow boats and admire the fine canal warehouses.'
