Bridge 137 by Lukasz Lukomski

Ellesmere Port to Helsby

A foot-only route, first along a well-paved towpath on the Shropshire Union Canal as far as Stoak, then a lengthy section of country walking across the marshes with sheep and cows, before an unpaved stretch and a track out across Frodsham Marsh. A good open rural route and only somewhat marred by heavy industry at the edge. Begins on the Shropshire Union Canal towpath; crosses Frodsham Marsh.

Time: 6h (4h30 walking, 1h30 lunch)

End-of-walk reward: Plenty of good pubs in Frodsham.

Warnings: A stretch alongside a busy road from Thornton-le-Moors. A foot-only route due to the marsh terrain.

Walk details: Slow Ways.
