Description

The Sandstone Trail is one of the finest and most popular long distance walks in North West England, in the UK.

The Trail stretches for 34 miles/55 kilometres and offers superb, unbroken, and often elevated walking across the still largely green and pleasant English county of Cheshire.

It runs from the ancient market town of Frodsham on the broad Mersey estuary, in the north, to Georgian Whitchurch in rural north Shropshire, in the south.

The Trail has a lot of history. The website explains the history.

The Helsby Running Club holds a race on this trail, and also records times done outside of the race.  FKTs for this trail can be found on the race website:  https://www.helsbyrunningclub.org.uk/sandstone-challenge-results/
