About Wheelock Rail Trail
The Wheelock Rail Trail is a popular 2 km traffic free route for walkers and cyclists. It is located on the outskirts of Sandbach and runs from Ettiley Heath towards Malkins Bank. The well surfaced trail ends where the trail crosses the canal and from the canal bridge a public bridleway continues to Malkins Bank.
The Wheelock Rail Trail was officially opened in 2002 and is part of the National Cycle Network.
The trail is up to 3 metres wide and is a well surfaced flat trail, with local access points in Wheelock and Ettiley Heath. There is no official car parking for this facility.
The trail crosses the A534, Northeast of Wheelock – please take care when crossing this road.
