Christleton is a beautiful village with a pretty church, only three miles from Chester. The Times named it one of the best places to live in 2022 and it's easy to see why.

You start near the Ring O' Bells, handy for afterwards, and head up to the pit, the village pond, then out along the lanes and back along the Shropshire Union Canal. Three and a half easy miles.
