GET ON TWO WHEELS

Did you get a new bike for Christmas? Or perhaps you want to dust off that one in the garage?

Northwich and the surrounding countryside is blessed with a range of diverse environments to enjoy a bike ride.

Woodlands, waterways, off-road trails or country roads; there are endless routes and locations to explore. Check out our Cycling in Northwich page for more information!

KEEP ON RUNNING

Northwich and Mid Cheshire is perfect if you fancy popping those running shoes on and escaping into the countryside.

Our waterways make for a peaceful and calming environment to stretch your legs and the parks can help you escape the hustle and bustle of the town centre.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a recreational or competitive runner either as you can plot your own routes or join the Northwich parkrun group which meets every Saturday morning in Carey Park.
