Where green lanes meet stately homes — and peaceful trails connect heritage and countryside.
Cheshire is one of England’s most charming rural counties, perfect for walking holidays and outdoor adventures. Between the Peak District edge and the Welsh border, the landscape unfolds in low hills, winding rivers, and leafy plains. Here, canal towpaths link historic market towns, woodland trails wind through ancient forests, and country lanes pass stately homes with sweeping parkland. Walking in Cheshire can mean a day on the sandstone ridges of the Sandstone Trail, a quiet afternoon in Delamere Forest, or a riverside loop around Chester’s Roman walls.
This is a place for slower journeys — gentle trails, cultural stops, and green views that stretch to the horizon.
