From the Cheshire Cycleway:

Unfortunately the main entrance to Capesthorne is on the busy A34, which is even busier at commuter times.

The Cycleway is closest as it passes Henbury Hall. Divert from the Cycleway at the T-junction of Fanshawe Lane and School Lane, taking the lane leading west then north towards Monk's Heath. At the busy main road (A537), turn left to Monk's Heath, and turn left at the traffic lights into the A34 towards Congleton. Capesthorne Hall is along this road on the right.
