Macclesfield to Stoke-on-Trent
This lovely ride follows National Cycle Route 55 through Cheshire to Staffordshire.
You start in Macclesfield and head to Congleton on country roads with views of the Macclesfield Canal as you go. You will also pass the 15th century Gawsworth Hall and the pretty Redesmere on this section of the route.
The final section heads along the Biddulph Valley Way - a traffic free disused railway path that will take you near to the outskirts of Stoke. From here you will head into Stoke passing through Central Forest and Hanley parks before finishing at the train station.
