With good connecting roads from Manchester and Chester, this is a good accessible ride through the Delamere Forest to the top of Pale Hill. It makes for a good mountain bike ride with great views out over seven counties, namely Derbyshire, Staffordshire, Lancashire, Shropshire, Denbighshire, and Flintshire. All these are marked by county stones pointing roughly in the correct direction, and there is a larger stone in the middle highlighting Cheshire. The location and views are just super nice.
