Kingsley is a quiet village in the Weaver Valley between Northwich and Frodsham. The name means King's Meadow, I assume because Delamere Forest next door was a royal hunting forest in Norman times.
The route heads into the quieter part of Delamere Forest, through to Hatchmere lake and round it, then back to Kingsley. A circular of about seven miles, with pubs at both Hatchmere and Kingsley.
