Great ride through Tatton Park. Often lots of deer to be seen, particularly in the early mornings before the crowds arrive. Watch out at weekends when there a lot of cars, walkers, prams, other cyclists and dogs around.

James the Greater (the Latin 'major' is not translated as 'great' in English), to whom this church in Gawsworth was dedicated, was, together with his brother, part of the inner circle of Jesus' disciples. In his version of the "Good News" (this is the meaning of the word "gospel"), the Evangelist Mark enumerates a list of the apostles: "James, the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of James—them he surnamed Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder" (Mark 3:17). They were said to have had strong tempers, but were faithful followers of Jesus Christ, in whom they recognized the promised Messiah. According to the Acts of the Apostles, James was executed for his faith. His tomb in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia (Spain), is one of the most famous and important pilgrimage destinations in the world.

At the top of Alderly Edge you will find this cafe. It is located at the start of the woodland foot paths where you can find old copper mines and tales of the wizard.

Also pass Tatton Park on the charity ride Manchester 100. It can get very busy around the park with cars looking for a parking space. They refuse to give you any room. So take extra care.
