Walks around Cuddington

The Whitegate Way stretches for six miles (10 km) from Winsford to Cuddington. There are convenient access points for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. The route provides a refuge for wildlife. Its two endpoints, Winsford and Cuddington, are named; this distinguishes it from the circular Oaklands Walk and White Barn Walk.

Oaklands Walk is four miles long and follows a circular route through Cuddington Vale, the old village of Bryn and the former centre of Cuddington village. White Barn Walk is a 3¼-mile circular route around the village of Cuddington, with views of the village and surrounding countryside. Routes and conditions on Oaklands Walk and White Barn Walk may change. Check the relevant route information before setting out.

Architectural history and historical connections

The Church of St John the Evangelist dates to 1902 and was partly funded by John Douglas. The tower was completed a few years later as a memorial to him. Thus, the date of the church and the later completion of the tower represent two successive stages in the building’s history. Inside is a Della Robbia panel from Birkenhead.

Another historical point of interest is the Round Tower, which was once a lodge of Vale Royal Abbey. Its former function differs from the church’s architectural details and adds to the historical themes Cuddington offers interested travellers.

Railway station and route information

Cuddington railway station retains many original features dating from the early days of rail travel in the county. It also offers regular passenger services to Manchester and Chester. Timetables and passenger services may change, so check your connection before travelling. The station’s historic character and the train services mentioned are both aspects to consider.

The Cuddington Rail Trail Circular is not wheelchair accessible. Route information may change if paths are altered, so check it before planning your trip. If accessibility is important to your decision, bear this limitation in mind for this particular circular route.
