The Cheshire Ring is a 97 mile route following the towpaths of 6 historic canals through Lancashire, Cheshire and Staffordshire. It offers a quiet countryside, city streets and views of the Cheshire Plain and the Peak District.
The route enters Stockport at High Lane. It then goes along the Macclesfield Canal, heads to the junction at Marple and then follows the Peak Forest Canal. It leaves Stockport via Woodley.
