It's one of the finest and most popular long distance walks in North West England, in the UK. The Sandstone Trail is the ultimate 'Cheshire Way'. It meanders across the still largely green and pleasant English county of Cheshire from the ancient market town of Frodsham on the broad Mersey estuary, in the north, to Georgian Whitchurch in rural north Shropshire, in the south.
