A Mere Two Hundred

A tour of the Meres of Cheshire and Shropshire. The start is from the Dean Row petrol station (open 24 hours) with parking available in the nearby Deanwater layby off Woodford Road (https://what3words.com/betrayal.comforted.nets). The route passes the many Meres of Cheshire and Shropshire (Mere, Budworth Mere, Hatchmere, Delamere, Oakmere, Hanmer Mere, Newton Mere, Blake Mere, Ellesmere, White Mere, and Colemere). Pick a good day to ride (and it’s a Perm, why would you pick a bad day?) and buy a sandwich at Ellesmere petrol station or the Co-op and find a bench beside The Mere for a perfect alfresco lunch. This is excellent cycling countryside with lots of quiet lanes. Although not a hilly ride, these are numerous undulations, but the route is probably still fine for those who insist on riding fixed.
