Neston to Ellesmere Port
A station-to-station walkCheshireNorth of England

MI
A route of two halves: suburban pavements and housing estates out of Ellesmere Port, then the lovely off-road Wirral Way (a former railway multi-user track) and including a wooded section cut through red sandstone bedrock. Some of the Wirral Way can be wet and muddy underfoot. Slopes of up to 16 degrees on the brook crossing.
End-of-walk reward: Cafe and toilets at the restored Hadlow Road Station on the Wirral Way; shopping areas at both station ends.
Warnings: Badgers Rake Lane has no pavement and a tricky dog's-leg bend. The busy A550 crossing has traffic lights.
