Our book, based on the original route, is now out of print.

The Cheshire Cycleway route was devised by local cyclists and initiated by the county council to encourage residents to enjoy the countryside. Not surprisingly for a council initiative, it takes in various tourist attractions, but also provides miles of mainly quiet roads.

With our guidebook out of print, and the route changed and lengthened, the Internet seemed the obvious place for our second guide, so we can keep it updated with the latest route changes, facilities, opening times and so on.

Please join us in adding your feedback and recommendations so visitors to this site can find the latest facts and opinions on the route and the facilities. Just use the 'Have your say' tab above to post your information (it's a Google Groups Forum, so you'll need to join first to post messages).

Our bikes

We first cycled the route on our large-wheeled tourers (a Holdsworth and a Falcon), but by the time of this web guide we'd forsaken these, and our car, for small-wheeled touring bikes that are fun to ride, fold for the train, carry loads, and leave small boys open-mouthed and green with envy as we whizz past...

...and their versatility has helped us to move closer to being a carbon-neutral household and business.
