72 Sandstone Trail by Chris Pearce Distance: 7 miles Difficulty: Medium/Hard A head for heights and a sure-footed nature are necessary for this 7-mile walk which, in parts, follows part of Cheshire’s Sandstone Trail. The Trail stretches for 34 miles through Cheshire, it has been voted by ITV viewers as one Britain’s Favourite Walks, and it’s easy to see why. On the first half of the walk there are a couple of flights of steep steps to navigate, which are set in the sandstone cliffs, and some breath-taking sheer drops, but you also need to be aware of lots of protruding tree roots and random sandstone rocks. Park up at the free car park off Simons Lane (WA6 6HQ) near Frodsham – look for the phone masts. At the entrance to the car park turn left and follow Simons Lane downhill until you see a bungalow (Overhill) and turn left up the shared driveway/ footpath. Follow the footpath right up to and over the driveway to a care home (Heathercliffe), and carry on down a wooded path downhill. Once you reach Bellemonte Road, turn right and turn left when you reach the Bellemonte pub. Look out for the footpath sign on the right and follow this down into a wooden area. You’re faced with a fork almost immediately and you need to bear left. You’ll pass a Frodsham Hill Wood sign and straight after a fingerpost; head for Delamere/ Beeston and carry on in that direction on the ridge of the wooden area, ignoring various turn offs (including one uphill for the Sandstone Trail). Tantalising glimpses of the Mersey coastline appear through the trees as you follow the path, and uninterrupted view are far and few between at this time of year. Shortly after passing Alf and Grace’s bench you’ll arrive at a fingerpost, go down the wooden stairway and then you’ll come to a fork; bear left if you want to clamber down some very
