Sortie rapide à vélo de Cheadle Hulme à Poynton

Spin from suburban Cheadle Hulme into leafy Cheshire on this roughly 14 km ride. You’ll roll mostly on quiet roads with long, comfy stretches of dedicated cycleway, and the surface is largely paved/asphalt. Expect gentle ups and downs with around 100 m of climbing—nothing too punchy, just enough to keep it interesting.

From Cheadle Hulme (a Stockport suburb with a handy rail station and parks like Bruntwood), head southeast through calm residential lanes, skirting green spaces as you thread toward Poynton. The approach into town is smooth, with only brief links on busier roads.

Poynton makes a pleasant finish: it’s known for its “shared space” centre around Fountain Place, plus the scenic Poynton Pool. If you’ve got extra legs, the Middlewood Way is close by for traffic-free miles toward Marple or Macclesfield.

Tip: watch for a few sections where the surface can vary, and bring lights if you’ll be out near dusk—tree cover and shaded paths can get dim.
