The footpath goes straight on to meet the A34, but the cycleway bears left and crosses the A34 by an underpass. This is the route of the long-gone Newcastle-Market Drayton railway line.
The National Cycle Network

The National Cycle Network is a network of cycle routes. It was created by the charity Sustrans LinkExternal link (Sustainable Transport), aided by a National Lottery grant.

Many routes aim to minimise contact with motor traffic, though 70% of them are on roads. In some cases the NCN uses pedestrian routes, disused railways, minor roads, canal towpaths, or traffic-calmed routes in towns and cities.

National Cycle Route 551

Route 551 is a National Cycle Network cycleway that runs between Newcastle, Nantwich and Winsford: a 26 km / 16 mile ride from the Potteries via Nantwich to route 5 at Winsford.
