Cheshire has some camping and caravanning sites (although a number of these campsites only accept caravans, or are for club members only), plus numerous hotels, inns, pubs, guesthouses and B & B (bed and breakfast) places.

Look at the Cheshire Cycleway map markers, and trawl the web too. A good place to find campsites is UK Campsites' website, and Visit Cheshire's website has a bed and breakfast listing. Additionally, local Tourist Information Centres have lists of accommodation and can help you book. Ask them if they have any cyclist-welcome places.

Also check our special offers page for any discount codes or deals, plus links to last-minute bargains.

For booking hostel-style accommodation, try Hostelbookers . Hostelbookers includes some Youth Hostel Association hostels, but not all, so check International Hostelling's site too, or specific national youth hostel association sites (e.g.Scotland, Northern Ireland, England & Wales).

If you are on a very tight budget, and want to meet fellow cyclists, try these two directories for no-cost hospitality:

Warm Showers - an Internet directory of cyclists worldwide offering hospitality to touring cyclists - ranging from a place to put your tent, the opportunity for a shower, or perhaps even a bed.

Hospitality Directory - a scheme for CTC members.
