Christleton, Cheshire - 3.5 Mile Run at Christleton near Chester | Running Travel Vlog

We are near Chester today at Christleton. Its a beautiful village with a pretty church and our starting point is located close to the Ring O’ Bells pub for after your walk or run. 

Christleton was named as one of the best places to live in 2022 by the Times newspaper and its easy to see why, out in the countryside its a picture postcard old Cheshire Village and its only 3 miles from Chester which is my favourite city.

Todays route takes us up toward ‘the pit’ (the local duck pond) and then across the fields and down the lane to Brown Heath. We then pick up the Baker Way path momentarily before turning off and into Waverton where we join the Shropshire Union Canal and follow it back to Christleton. Not too far at 3.5 miles its a pleasant stroll or a short run in the peace and quiet of the Cheshire Countryside.
