Sandstone Trail 40th Anniversary

Local charities join forces to mark the 40th Anniversary of Cheshire's Sandstone Trail.

The Sandstone Ridge Trust is inviting people from across Cheshire to join them in a variety of outdoor activities, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Cheshire's Sandstone Trail.

Working with local partners, Cheshire Wildlife Trust, the Forestry Commission, Meres and Mosses Landscape Partnership, Earth Skills Project and CWaC Council, the charity has organised a series of walks stretching the 34-mile breadth of the Cheshire landmark and a variety of family-friendly activities from Thursday 25 – Saturday 27 September.

In addition to the anniversary celebrations local environmental organisations are also celebrating the re-introduction of a rare-species of dragonfly – the White-faced darter – to Delamere, a crucial ecosystem along the Sandstone Ridge.

John Heselwood, Chairman of the Sandstone Ridge Trust, said: "We felt it was fitting to mark this occasion with a mass walk to highlight the Trail as a fantastic feature that both local people and visitors enjoy all year round. We're also taking the opportunity to highlight the array of fantastic projects currently taking place to protect and enhance the environment in the area."
