Main heading

Wander along the historic Weaver Navigation, through the industrial and natural landscapes of the Weaver Parkway, close to Winsford town centre. Much of the Parkway has been reclaimed from former industrial land, a legacy of the local salt industry, and is now rich in wildlife. Look out for the herons, perched on the salt piles across the river, next to Britain's only underground salt mine. In summer the meadows are a riot of colour. Tortoiseshell and red admiral butterflies flit amongst the knapweed, while later in the year goldfinches feast on the teasel heads.

Waymarks make sure you don't get lost on the cycleway and soon there will also be some attractive seats for you to rest along the way. Find out how you can get involved in Weaver Environmental Arts Project and make your mark on the Parkway.
