Route description

For a classic winter adventure we’re heading back to Macclesfield Forest to embark on our three counties trek to Meerbrook, Leek. The planned route takes in many of the South West Peak District’s finest highlights, including ‘the Matterhorn of Cheshire’, Shutlingsloe, the plunge pool at Three Shires Head (where Cheshire, Derbyshire & Staffordshire converge), the enchanting chasm at Lud’s Church and the glorious views from The Roaches. One of our favourite Freshwalks routes. Please note that this is a linear hike without any public transport return options. We will organise two return minibus shuttle runs.
