Eddisbury Way A5 Booklet THE MID-CHESHIRE FOOTPATH SOCIETY The Mid-Cheshire Footpath Society was formed in 1961 for all those interested in The Mid-Cheshire Footpath Society keeping open and well-marked the footpaths in that part of Cheshire not covered by existing societies. Its area is bounded by Lymm, Runcorn, Middlewich, Crewe, Audlem, Malpas and Chester. Waymarked Walks in Central Cheshire The Society organizes walks throughout the year on Wednesdays and alternate Sundays, covering as many different areas as possible. The purpose of these walks, which are generally between five and eight miles long, is to inspect, and subsequently report on, the condition of the paths, to the local authority responsible for the maintenance of public rights of way.

  • Lct 5: Undulating Enclosed Farmland
    LCT 5: UNDULATING ENCLOSED FARMLAND General Description This character type is defined by undulating topography and the associated small to medium scale enclosure into which it is divided. Key characteristics are the generally cohesive and un-fragmented historic landscape in the south of the borough, small woodlands, ponds and streams, nucleated rural villages and scattered farmsteads. Land use is mainly pasture. Away from main roads, railways and settlement the landscape is generally quiet and rural. Views within this type very much depend upon location and the nature of the immediate topography. There is a range of monuments from Bronze Age barrows to post medieval canal locks. The character type is found across a large part of the Cheshire West and Chester borough; to the east between Northwich and the Sandstone Ridge and in the south of the borough. Visual Character The location of this landscape type is reflected in the prevailing views which extend to adjacent character areas, either out over the low-lying plain or up towards the often dominant Sandstone Ridge. Roads typically follow the rolling topography, offering extensive views from high vantage points out over the immediate field pattern and extending to the high ground in the far distance such as the Pennines in the east. Long distance views are sometimes affected by large scale industrial works in adjacent areas. LCT 5: Undulating Enclosed Farmland 138 From low ground the landscape appears smaller in scale due to the increase in enclosure and the contained views where skylines are typically formed by hedgerow trees, woodland and farmsteads, with occasional electricity pylons and church spires.

  • Lct 2: Sandstone Ridge
    LCT 2: SANDSTONE RIDGE General Description The Sandstone Ridge stands prominently above the surrounding Plain and is visually one of the most distinctive landmarks in the Cheshire West and Chester landscape. It comprises a spine running roughly north-south from Helsby through Tarporley and on to Duckington for some 30 km, emerging and dropping back down into the plain as a series of scarps and sandstone outcrops. Helsby Hill and Beeston Crag are prominent isolated outliers. There are overlapping characteristics with the Sandstone Fringe character type, but the visual and topographic differences set it apart from this more intermediate landscape. The ridge has a very strong cultural and natural character for example there is a concentration of prehistoric sites, woodland and heathland, sandstone quarries and exposures and sandstone buildings, walls and sunken lanes. Visual Character This landscape exhibits varying degrees of enclosure and contrasting scales, due to the localised ridge and valley features of the undulating topography and a wide variation in woodland cover. At many locations solid blocks of woodland (including conifers) and high hedgerows combine to provide strong enclosure, creating an impression of a small-scale verdant landscape. The sense of enclosure by lush, dense vegetation is further reinforced when travelling along sunken roads between high hedges or valley bottoms below wooded ridge lines. Elsewhere, reduced tree cover leads to a more open landscape with a dominant hedgerow pattern, particularly evident from many elevated positions available along the network of narrow lanes. LCT 2: Sandstone Ridge 47 Expansive, long distance views provide an important element of this landscape type as they are widely available from the higher ground and contribute significantly to the distinctive character of the landscape.

  • Sandstone Fringe
    LCT 3: SANDSTONE FRINGE General Description This is an intermediate landscape type that delineates the eastern margin of the Cheshire Plain West, while above it rises the Sandstone Ridge to the east. To the north and south are patches of the Undulating Enclosed Farmland landscape type. Visual Character This is a landscape of strong contrasts. At many locations landform, high hedges and blocks of woodland provide effective enclosure and ensure only immediate, short distance views. Where the high vegetation combines with narrow, sunken, winding lanes the landscape has a small scale, verdant character. This is in contrast to those elevated and open viewpoints enjoying extensive and panoramic views across the adjacent low lying Cheshire Plain and the Mersey valley. Views to the west extend to the Clwydian hills in north Wales and to the Shropshire hills to the south on clear days. At many open viewpoints on the lower slopes the eye is drawn to a number of distinctive landmarks along the high ground of the Sandstone Ridge. This includes strong visual elements such as the sandstone outcrop of Beeston Crag and Beeston Castle, and Peckforton Castle in Cheshire East. Physical Influences The Sandstone Fringe rises from the Cheshire Plain West at 50m AOD, with a maximum elevation of 155m. To the east and south of the Sandstone Ridge the landscape is more undulating and the break between character types is not so distinct. LCT 3: Sandstone Fringe 91 The topography varies from gentle slopes and undulations to steep scarps. The underlying geology comprises Wilmslow Sandstone and Tarporley Siltstone, which is mostly overlain by glacial till and glacio-fluvial deposits, distinguishing the character are from the adjacent Sandstone Ridge.
