Out & About

The Bear’s Paw idyllic Cheshire location leaves you spoilt for choice on things to do and see. We’re ideally situated in the midst of beautiful countryside, making us the ideal pit-stop for cyclists, dog walkers and ramblers. Stretch your legs and take a look at our ‘Three Walks from The Bear’s Paw’ leaflet for inspiration on local walks.

Or if a leisurely countryside stroll or cycle isn’t your bag, we’re also located near to some beautiful Cheshire towns for you to explore.

Sandbach is a town filled with historic buildings and civic pride with everything from history, sports and even science and astronomy. The Trent and Mersey canal passes through the town, which also has its own market dating back to Elizabethan times along with monthly farmers markets.

Middlewich is a town of canals and heritage boasting a beautiful parish church which has parts of it dating back to the 15^th century. With a history that goes back to Roman times this town is the centre of Roman salt industry.

Within the borough of Crewe and Nantwich you can visit the mysterious Hack Green Secret Nuclear Bunker, take a spooky ghost walk through Nantwich or take a step back in time into a Victorian Sunday School.  From railway heritage to farmers markets to an Edwardian theatre, this borough provides many things to see and do.

Further afield, the historic city of Chester and the metropolis of Manchester are both within one hour’s drive, whilst Liverpool is also in reach: you are never far from all the action of the city during your stay, despite our idyllic rural setting.
