Overview

Cheshire contains a varied countryside, ranging from the wide open spaces and pastoral lowlands of the Cheshire Plain, to the east of the county, near Macclesfield and Congleton, where gentle hills give way to steeper and longer climbs up wooded slopes to purple moorland. Interestingly, the peaceful countryside is dotted with the evidence of an industrial heritage of salt mining and textile mills, giving Cheshire more waterways than any other English county, and much history to explore.
