Towns and Villages along the Sandstone Trail
The Sandstone Trail stretches for 55 kilometre/34 miles from Frodsham, on the Mersey Estuary, in north Cheshire, to Whitchurch, just over the county boundary in north Shropshire, in the south.
It's probably one of the best walks in Cheshire, a kind of Cheshire Way.
