Best Tea Shop Walks in Cheshire, Clive Price - Cheshire's scenery is rivalled by few other counties: high moorlands, languid rivers, lush pastures, and its craggy sandstone and gritstone outcrops. There are ancient towns, pretty villages and architectural gems, linked by countless footpaths and bridleways and well-endowed with tea shops! Few of the walks in this book exceed five miles and most are much shorter. All are designed to reveal the rich tapestry of Cheshire's landscape, history and wildlife. The reward at the end of each walk is afternoon tea or morning coffee, or a leisurely lunch in one of nearly thirty recommended (and tested) establishments. These include a monastic refectory, a station waiting room, and 18th-century cotton mill and several garden centres. Published March 12.

It also offers charming villages, friendly towns, famous stately homes, glorious gardens, fascinating museums and, of course, one of Europe's most historic and popular cities, Chester itself. The 20 routes, described and illustrated with OS mapping and colour photographs, attempt to reveal some of the splendours of this land of the 'brindled cat', with a series of walks which combine landscape with architecture, natural beauty with history, and our heritage with our diverse and complex culture.
