A wonderful example of a lock bridge, and a great spot for a BAAB (bike against a bridge) photo. It's peaceful and picturesque, you might even spot a canal boat or two.

The two lodges joined by an archway. Even though there was no clear sight of the hall, Brereton Hall is a splendid building completed around 1600 on the site of an earlier hall. It was modelled on a hall at Rock Savage near Clifton, Runcorn where Sir William Brereton, an orphan, was raised. The Brereton family lived here until 1722 when the male line died out. It was taken over as a private school during World War II. It is now privately owned and is not open to the public.

Nice quiet, straight and fairly flat country road. The area is quite agricultural, but there is heath land to the west.
