From the wild and open hills of the Peaks to the low-lying pastures of the Plain, Cheshire is covered in a spider's web of footpaths, bridleways, towpaths and trails and is well served by welcoming pubs and cosy cafes.

There is so much to see in this corner of England and there is no better way to explore it than by lacing up your boots and setting off on foot - armed of course with this selection of 40 circular walks.
