Macclesfield Cycle Trails

Macclesfield is the perfect starting location for a day’s cycling.

All our routes start and end in the town centre, but as they are all circular you can join them at any stage you find convenient.

Macclesfield Town Council has introduced the MaccTivity initiative to encourage local people to Move More and increase their physical activity each day. You might decide to start walking instead of driving to local places, or set yourself a target of completing each of our suggested cycle routes.

Macclesfield is the perfect starting location for a day’s cycling. With rolling hills, excellent transport links and wonderful places to re-fuel with food and drink, there is no better place to meet up with your friends for a day’s riding in the beautiful countryside which surrounds the Town.

Being outside and being active will have a positive impact not only on physical fitness, but also on mental well-being. It also helps to reduce the chance of certain serious health conditions.
