Sortie rapide à vélo de Poynton à Cheadle Hulme

Spin out from Poynton’s friendly centre—famous for its “shared space” junction—and roll past green pockets like Poynton Pool or the Macclesfield Canal before heading northwest on back streets toward Bramhall. From there, pick up the Ladybrook Valley-style cycle links and quiet residential lanes into Cheadle Hulme. It’s about 15.6 km with gentle ups and downs (roughly 85 m climbing), so it’s breezy enough for a relaxed ride.

The route is largely on quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, with very little busy traffic. Surfaces are mostly paved, though expect the odd mixed section—fine on a hybrid or road bike with sensible tyres. Fancy a pause? Bramhall Village Square has coffee spots, and a short detour into Bramhall Park gets you a peek at Tudor-era Bramhall Hall.

Finish in Cheadle Hulme, a Stockport suburb with handy rail links and plenty of post-ride cafes around Station Road. If you’ve got extra legs, continue along the Ladybrook Valley paths or loop back via Woodford for a slightly more rural spin.
