Knutsford Station to Chelford Station (Cheshire)
30m direct from Mouldsworth.
fabulous houses to admire en-route. A lovely, very flat and straightforward walk on obvious footpaths through varied fields, woods and countryside, peaceful and well-marked.

Good transport links: buses to Knutsford and trains from Chelford allow a circular trip. Plenty of places to sit and rest with views of the Cheshire Plain.
Easy: 10km, gentle ascents.
A local grocer's and, with a short diversion, a pub at Chelford.

Knutsford Station to Hale Station (Cheshire)
30m direct from Mouldsworth.
A direct, safe and enjoyable route that avoids traffic where possible, on field paths through countryside. Some fields between Knutsford and Mobberley can be very boggy after rain and a couple of stiles and gates need repair; new housing and unsown fields mean a little route-finding is needed. A short deviation into Ashley reaches a pub.
13km. Moderate ascents.
Fields can be very boggy after wet weather, and some stiles and gates need repair. A new housing development means following a wooden fence around a building site, and a couple of fields may need skirting around the edge. Can be muddy.
Lunch: A pub at Ashley, via a short deviation mid-route.
Treat yourself to frozen yoghurt in Hale at the finish.
