Route Overview
North-West England’s most popular mid-distance walk, the Sandstone Trail offers a vast array of attractions en route – from celebrity wedding favourite: Peckforton Castle; to the medieval fortification of Beeston Castle.
Julia takes in the rolling countryside pastures and panoramic views over the Cheshire plains and Liverpool.
It’s a popular route for dog-walking and sports – from the local Tough-Team race, to one of the top board and bike tracks in the country, not to mention the intrepid 4×4 off road experience at Peckforton – Julia packs it all in.
