Overview

Meeting at Nantwich train station at 9.10, there is limited parking at the station so allow time for parking on Love Lane car park (charges apply)

We will get the 9.26 train to Prees and walk across fields, along lanes and the canal through Coton, Whixall and Alkington back to Whitchurch where we will get a train back to Nantwich, after 4 o'clock.

If weather is good there are some great views.

It will be cheaper to get a return from Nantwich to Prees rather than two single tickets.

There are cows in the fields so sorry no dogs.
