We cover the area from the Wirral to Chester, south to Nantwich and east as far as the M6. We have established links with Cheshire East and Cheshire West Council rights of way sections and are represented at the Cheshire West Local Access Forum.<\/p><p>Mid Cheshire Bridleways has always worked with local authorities, landowners and various other partners to help create and maintain safe, interesting rides.\u00a0 Our major successes have been being instrumental in the creation of Delamere Loop which took almost 20 years to come to fruition and the creation of the Oakmere Way.\u00a0The opening up of the Aston Ring was another of our \u00a0early successes. Details and plans of these routes are available from the links above. We also contribute to consultation documents including rights of way improvement plans, Highway improvements and comment on planning applications involving equestrian access.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6a09bd5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6a09bd5\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bff0ee7\" data-id=\"bff0ee7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9deb70d arrows-relative-to-box_area bullets-small-dot-stroke elementor-widget elementor-widget-the7_elements_carousel\" data-id=\"9deb70d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;widget_columns&quot;:3,&quot;widget_columns_tablet&quot;:2,&quot;widget_columns_mobile&quot;:1,&quot;gap_between_posts&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:15,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_between_posts_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_between_posts_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"the7_elements_carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"disable-arrows-hover-bg the7_elements_carousel-9deb70d owl-carousel portfolio-carousel-shortcode elementor-owl-carousel-call portfolio-shortcode the7-elementor-widget content-bg-on classic-layout-list description-under-image quick-scale-img enable-bg-rollover\" data-scroll-mode=\"1\" data-auto-height=\"false\" data-speed=\"600\" data-autoplay=\"false\" data-autoplay_speed=\"\"><article class=\"post visible no-img post-10290 type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized\">\n\n<div class=\"post-entry-content\">\n\n\t<h3 class=\"ele-entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/midcheshirebridleways.org.uk\/?p=10290\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Cotebrook  Shirehorse Center Visit\">Cotebrook  Shirehorse Center Visit<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"entry-meta\"><span class=\"meta-item category-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/midcheshirebridleways.org.uk\/?cat=1\" rel=\"tag\">Uncategorized<\/a><\/span><a class=\"meta-item author vcard\" href=\"https:\/\/midcheshirebridleways.org.uk\/?author=1\" title=\"View all posts by \" rel=\"author external\">By <span class=\"fn\"><\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/midcheshirebridleways.org.uk\/?m=20260420\" title=\"\" class=\"meta-item data-link\" rel=\"bookmark\"><time class=\"entry-date updated\" datetime=\"\"><\/time><\/a><\/div><div class=\"entry-excerpt\"><p>17 members and guests attended an evening tour of the stud with the owner Janet King which was a fascinating insight into the development of the stud which has been breeding champion shires for over 50 years.
