 | The Sandstone TrailWalking along the Sandstone trail affords you some of the finest walking in Cheshire. The trail rises dramatically from the Cheshire plain and is an invigorating walk at any time of year. Originally opening in 1974, The Sandstone Trail has since been extended, so it now links the towns of Frodsham and Whitchurch. This not only makes it more accessible by public transport, but also means you can enjoy some of the excellent facilities available in each town. |

 | RiversThe River Weaver is a river, navigable in its lower reaches, running in a curving route anti-clockwise across west Cheshire, northern England. From its source in the hills of west Cheshire near Peckforton Castle. Just south of the Cheshire village of Audlem, the river then starts to flow approximately northwards across the Cheshire Plain, and today empties into the Manchester Ship Canal at Weston Point Docks, Runcorn (it previously flowed into the River Mersey). The 21 miles (34 km) long stretch north from Winsford Bridge has been made navigable (as the Weaver Navigation) by dredging and cuts. Acts of Parliament dating back to 1721 were introduced to allow the river to be 'canalised' to carry freight, including salt and chemicals). |
