The Sandstone Trail is the finest longer walk in the county and an absolute must for anyone interested in the art of pedestrianism. It runs north to south from Frodsham to Whitchurch in Shropshire, a distance of 34 miles that can be covered quite easily in three days. If you simply don t have the time or even the inclination to take the full trail, you can still explore this beautiful part of Cheshire with this series of much shorter walks.
