Cheshire has varied countryside and plenty of places to visit on a day's cycling route.

There are National Trust gardens, castles and plenty of cafes and country pubs.

www.explorecheshire.com has day cycle routes and lists events en route, such as fetes, open gardens and events of interest which can give an aim for the day out.

Outdoor theatre is fantastic anyway, because you can take a picnic and have a fabulous evening.

I recommend watching C'est Tous perform The Taming of The Shrew (this year on 21st and 28th July at 7pm). They are fabulous actors who really know their stuff as they've been doing it as a company for 22 glorious years. They always do a pre-show talk which really involves the audience.

Chester Amphitheatre, Beeston Castle and Brougham Hall.
