  Few of the walks in this book exceed five miles: most are much shorter. They are ideal for parents with young children or for those preferring gentle strolls in the evenings or on lazy afternoons. All are designed to reveal the rich tapestry of Cheshire's landscape, history and wildlife. The reward is an equally leisurely afternoon tea in a tea shop which is just as much a part of Cheshire as the countryside. One is set in a medieval monastic refectory, another in a station waiting room, and another in an eighteenth century cotton mill. No matter which you choose you can be certain of an afternoon tea where the scones are smothered in local cream and jam followed by irresistible mouth-watering cakes, all home baked and accompanied by a large pot of freshly brewed tea. And if you're not there for afternoon tea, there's always morning coffee or lunch! The walks are planned to take in different terrains and grades of walking; and a wide range of tea shops - one housed in a medieval monastic refectory, another in a station waiting room. This book will appeal to residents in and around Cheshire, plus visitors to this lovely area; walkers of varying experience and of all ages, including family groups and the no longer young; those who enjoy seeking out good teashops and other refreshment houses in interesting places - quite irrespective of walking ability or desire.
