Pond dipping on the Sandstone Trail

There is excellent scope for outdoor education in the unspoilt countryside around Cheshire’s central sandstone ridge.

The wooded sandstone ridge combines everything children need for successful and enjoyable cross-curricular learning, from fascinating geology, geography and history, to outdoor activities and fun in a secure environment.

There are four main residential education centres along the Sandstone Trail, catering for children of all ages and abilities. They are ideal for school trips and educational visits. The Cheshire sandstone ridge is also a popular area for the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme.
