Help connect Tarporley
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Tarporley’s Slow Ways.

There’s a café at Calverley, accessed from the towpath at 30% through the route, a pub at Barbridge (requiring a short detour), a café with toilets outside it at the Venetian Marina, exactly halfway, and a Garden Centre with café at 75%. There was one field-crossing zone at the Tarporley end, and another soon after leaving the canal heading for Crewe. Most of the rest of the route was very quiet country lanes which felt safe, and also a pleasant line of off-road footpaths into Crewe....

Field walking is kept to a minimum (fine by me) and the only sections are between the A51 and joining the canal section and between leaving the canal section and crossing the A530. The walk is pretty safe, although particular care is needed when crossing the A51 and there is a section of road walking required along the B5076 at the Crewe end. Definitely a good way to walk between Tarporley and Crewe...

This is quite a nice route which we walked in reverse, from Tarporley to Tattenhall. Only one major road to cross and then a combination of fields and a stretch on the Shropshire Union Canal towpath. There's quite a few stiles across the fields....

Leaving the main road is lovely through fields with a route into Tarporley via quiet back lanes....
Maddy Fowler
Route is safe and only interacts with roads for a small part. The map is fairly accurate and the route is easy to follow....
