Nantwich is a beautiful old market town in south Cheshire, on the River Weaver and close to the Shropshire Union and Llangollen canals, surrounded by footpaths over open farmland.

This eight mile route starts and finishes on the high street, heading out into the countryside and back. The GPX goes round an electric fence that blocked one path when I filmed it.
