From the Cheshire Cycleway:
The easiest route from the Cheshire Cycleway is from Wybunbury. Instead of cycling away from this village towards Audlem, turn right and pedal uphill past the church tower and along the main street, then take the back road (second on the left) to Butt Green. This brings you to a traffic-light controlled T-junction with the busy A51. Stapeley Water Gardens are on the other side of the road - just turn right along the main road for a very short stretch, and then left into the car park. Beware motorists concentrating on parking rather than cyclists.
