Dutton Doddle

This is a gentle ride that takes a lovely scenic route from Acton Swing Bridge, under the A49 to Blue Bell Nursery and back. It's just a short 5 miles total for those wanting to get back on their bikes or explore this scenic route. The ride follows the River Weaver for 1 mile to Dutton Locks, then on round through Dutton Park Woodlands and grass land for another 1.5 miles to Blue Bell Nursery. We can stop at the nursery for a browse or home made lemonade before making our way back. Best suited to a mountain or hybrid bike as it is a mix of surfaces - mainly tarmac but also some gravel and grass tracks. The route is virtually traffic free, though the first part to Dutton Locks has the occassional car accessing the lock cottages. Leigh Arms have kindly agreed to let us use the car park from 10 am. They also do a good lunch if you decide to meet up with others after or make a longer day of being out! Any queries please get in touch, Lynne 07711 717473
