Just past Ivy Cottage, there’s an entrance on the left to the<br />
Peckforton Estate. Take this path, again denoted by the ‘S’,<br />
and after a bit of a climb, the path flattens out and you’re<br />
treated to great views over the Cheshire plains. Eventually<br />
you’ll arrive at a junction by a black barrier – take the path<br />
that goes straight on.<br />
A little further on, the path forks; take the lower path that<br />
is denoted ‘Cheshire East’ and head downhill. You’ll exit<br />
the woodlands shortly afterwards and head uphill on a<br />
quiet single-track road, which merges into Pennsylvania<br />
Lane. Pass the Pheasant Inn and then turn left at the<br />
crossroads into Fowlers Bench Lane. 40 yards further on<br />
and you’ll take a left into Rock Lane.<br />
Rock Lane forks shortly afterwards; take the right fork<br />
and follow this single-track road for over half a mile.<br />
You’ll pass a barrier as the road becomes a<br />
path going through woodlands, which<br />
eventually bears left as you reach<br />
a disused railway bridge.<br />
Once you’ve<br />
passed under<br />
the bridge,<br />
carry on down the cobbled lane heading towards a<br />
barrier. Forty yards on from the barrier, take a left turn by<br />
the yellow salt bin and then, ten yards after the turn, look<br />
up and take the path on the right that’s on a higher level.<br />
Follow the path downhill, over the stile and directly through<br />
the next field until you reach a stone stile that takes you<br />
down to <strong>St</strong>onehouse Lane. Turn left and follow the road for<br />
¾ mile past the grand entrance to Peckforton Castle until<br />
you reach a T-junction. Bear right onto Peckforton Road<br />
and follow the road for a further 1/3 of a mile into Beeston.<br />
Turn left at the Smithy Cottage into Tattenhall Lane, and<br />
then turn right 100 yards later into Chapel Lane. Follow<br />
the road uphill and round a right-hand bend and you’re<br />
back at your starting point.<br />
