What are some nearby outdoor attractions to Cheshire?

If you’d rather head north, the Forest of Bowland AONB makes a great option. Along with miles of rocking and cycling routes, you'll find a mix of lakes and rivers—perfect for trout and salmon fishing—and ample opportunities for birding and wildlife watching. Dark skies, free of light pollution, make this forest an excellent spot for stargazing. Head a bit deeper into Wales and you’ll soon find yourself at one of its most important attractions: Snowdonia National Park, also known as Eyri National Park. Snowdonia draws in millions of visitors every year with its towering peaks and deep valleys, but at 823 square miles—and with 74 miles of coastline—Snowdonia has plenty of room for everyone. On the opposite side of the border with Wales, the Clwydian Range And Dee Valley AONB draws in visitors with its mix of peaks and valleys, meadows and woodlands. It's popular for walking, kayaking, and cycling, while archaeology fans will appreciate the area's half-dozen-odd hillforts that date back to the Iron Age. Stop at the visitor centre at Loggerheads Country Park to get orientated.
