Run / Walk Middlewich, Cheshire | 7 mile circular route in the heart of Cheshire

Описание: This week on Run Adventurer we're in Middlewich in Cheshire for a 7 mile circular route down the Croxton trail and along the Middlewich Spur of the Shropshire Union Canal into Middlewich. We then do a 3 mile circuit over the fields behind British Salt before rejoining the Trent and Mersey canal for the final leg with a brief diversion to visit the site of the Roman fort.

History

Middlewich has been the site of salt production throughout history, the Romans named the area 'Salinae' which roughly translates to Salt Works. The settlement had a Roman fort and lies at the junction of 7 roman roads.

Salt production continues to this day, British salt extract table salt from brine under the brand name 'Saxa Salt'.

Parking

The route is based on parking at Croxton Trail on Croxton Lane.
