WINCLE BREWERY, WINCLE Tittesworth Be Safe Please remember that these routes are on the public highways and you should ensure that you are a properly experienced and skilled cyclist for the route. Please also make sure that you are visible at all times, have working bike lights and wear appropriate personal safety equipment, such as a helmet and high visibility clothing. This route is intended to be family friendly. However, you must consider your child’s age, cycling ability and the route before deciding to ride.

MaccTivity Macclesfield Town Council has introduced the MaccTivity initiative to encourage local people to Move More and increase their physical activity each day. You might decide to start walking instead of driving to local places, or set yourself a target of completing each of our suggested cycle routes.

Macclesfield is the perfect starting location for a day’s cycling. With rolling hills, excellent transport links and wonderful places to re-fuel with food and drink, there is no better place to meet up with your friends for a day’s riding in the beautiful countryside which surrounds the Town.

Being outside and being active will have a positive impact not only on physical fitness, but also on mental wellbeing. It also helps to reduce the chance of certain serious health conditions.
