Acton Bridge is close to the River Weaver and the emerging WEAVER WAY, a new network of paths which stretch from Audlem to Frodsham. It is path that will take you to tranquil countryside, abundant wildlife, unique culture, rich heritage and vibrant events.
The WEAVER WAY crosses the river at Dutton Lock and passes under the impressive railway viaduct. The fine stone 20 arch structure was designed by George Stephenson.
Acton Bridge Parish Council has produced a map of footpaths and bridleways in the village. These are available free of charge through local outlets such as the pubs and shops in the neighbourhood.
In nearby Dutton, BLUEBELL COTTAGE GARDENS extend to 1.5 acres, wrapped around the cottage and extending up to the Trent & Mersey canal towpath. There are seven distinct areas, each interconnected with gravel or grass paths. The gardens are open to the public from the end of March to the end of September, Wednesday to Sunday. |
