L18 gpx for cycle GPS / phone app, but first READ pdf route & safety info. Route L18

Avoid the main roads by cycling our route to this 12-acre hillside garden with a diversity of interest.
The route utilises quiet back lanes, with only short main road sections at the start and finish. It passes through the pretty village of Norton in Hales.

• Note: Admission prices apply. Check opening hours before setting out. Restricted opening hours in winter.
• There is a fairly lengthy climb of moderate gradient to the north of Norton in Hales. However, it's worth the effort as the views from the summit can be stunning.
• The road crossing of the A525 at the end of School Lane requires care, as does the short section of A525 leaving Audlem.
• Care should be taken on the final section on the busy A51.
