Lyme Park and the Macclesfield Canal

Saturday 26 November 5 miles
Hilary + Jane

After Friday's blue sky and sunshine opening the curtains to fog was very disappointing. It makes you wonder if it is worth leaving home.

Thank goodness we did decide to drive away from Middlewich, as soon as we got to the Chelford roundabout the fog disappeared and the sun shone.


We started at the Boar's Head, on Shrigley Road North, parking just down the road. We turned onto Lyme Road, passing over the Middlewood Way, up the lane, across the canal then out into the countryside.

On our way uphill we passed a farm with a bike outside with the names Sophie and Helen on it. Sophie Thornhill and Helen Scott won gold at the Rio Paralympics.

We continued up hill and came to the boundary of Lyme Park with the National Trust sign displayed.
