Marton to Malpas
43miles/69km
Close to Congleton the River Dane meanders gently through a pretty wooded valley. This is rich dairy country with prime grazing for Cheshire's famous black and white cows.
Hassall Green, where the canal met the railway, was a busy place. Children from the boats had to attend the school here while goods were unloaded, even if it was only for half an hour.
Look out for the leaning church tower at Wybunbury, another local landmark. Close by is Wybunbury Moss, a national nature reserve home to rare plants and animals.
From here you cycle south to Audlem where bear baiting took place during the annual Wakes. The rolling countryside around Wrenbury and Marbury is dotted with mere's, formed in the last ice age but today appreciated by people and wildlife alike.
