Salt Line Alsager The Salt Line is now a linear nature trail and cycleway starting near to the Wilbraham Arms in Alsager.

It follows the old mineral line from the Potteries through to Sandbach and the salt towns of S Cheshire.

Coal and limestone was carried into Cheshire where brine was heated in large open pans to leave white salt crystals which were then used in the making of washing soda, glass, soap and detergents.

The Salt Line is now in the ownership of Congleton Borough Council.

Randle Rode This splendid 17th century Tudor-style house on the A533 bears the legend Randle Rode 1684.
Rode Hall Estate lies a couple of miles to the south-east of here, but the family have been landowners in the area for centuries. If you look closely, the large vertical stone in the garden wall has a face carved into it, as have other smaller ones which picture compression has rendered invisible.
