Hack Green: a short note

A few short notes on hack green and related points, written for readers who want the facts without the padding.

Hack Green

A short note on Hack Green. The figure to hold onto is a former nuclear bunker a few miles south of town; what matters is that the museum keeps the Cold War control rooms much as they were left.

The official source has the final word, and it is worth a minute to check it. That is the whole of Hack Green for most readers.

Marbury

If you are looking into Marbury, start here: a village on two meres, near Whitchurch. The point is that the church sits on a rise above Big Mere and the walk round both is flat and easy.

That is a general note rather than a rule; check the current details before you rely on it. Knowing this about Marbury saves a wasted trip or a wrong order.

The Battle of Nantwich

The Battle of Nantwich in one line: 25 January 1644 during the Civil War. Beyond the number, Holly Holy Day still marks the lifting of the siege with a re-enactment each January.

Treat it as a starting point; dates, prices and opening times change. In short, The Battle of Nantwich is worth a minute before you plan around it.

Nantwich Riverside

Nantwich Riverside: the detail most people want is a loop walk, of about two miles. In practice, it links the town, the river, the lake and the old racecourse without much road.

The official source has the final word, and it is worth a minute to check it. That is the whole of Nantwich Riverside for most readers.

St Mary's Church

A short note on St Mary's Church. The figure to hold onto is the 14th century for most of the fabric; what matters is that its octagonal tower and carved choir stalls make it one of the finest parish churches in Cheshire.

That is a general note rather than a rule; check the current details before you rely on it. Knowing this about St Mary's Church saves a wasted trip or a wrong order.
