Shropshire
and Cheshire Tour
8
nights - STRENUOUS
A
cycle tour for experienced and keener cyclists. Starting in Chester, explore
Delamere Forest and the rolling farming country of central Cheshire, crossing canals
and circling the Peckforton Hills (dotted with castles). Pass
Beeston Castle and visit the Dysart Arms one of the best pubs in the area,
before heading to Shropshire's Lakeland. Head
south through Shropshire’s Lakeland to Shrewsbury. The
Ellesmere area
has many small glacial lakes, mosses, rare plants and wildlife and cycling
is particularly quiet and peaceful with some lanes that rarely see a car!.
  
From
here it on to the more hilly Shropshire Hills area and the Long Mynd.Either have a rest day (why not visit the pretty
market town of Ludlow), or cycle some of the more challenging hill country.
We offer a couple of route options on this day, either 25 miles or a more
strenuous 40 – 50 mile route. From Stretton head back along the welsh border to
Chester.
