The Bishop Bennet Way is a route for horse riding in south west Cheshire, England, which can also be used by walkers and cyclists. It is named after William Bennet (4 March 1745 - 1820), Bishop of Cork and Ross (1790–1794) and subsequently Bishop of Cloyne (1794–1820), who carried out detailed surveys of Roman roads including those between Deva (Chester) and Mediolanum (Whitchurch).[1]
The way starts near Beeston Castle and as of 2008[update] finishes near Wirswall on the Cheshire-Shropshire border. There are hopes to extend it to Shrewsbury.[1]
The way follows bridle ways, byways and minor roads; half of it is along tarmac roads. Walkers can bypass the longer road sections on footpaths. Cyclists are advised that some parts of the route are difficult for cycling.[1]
The way passes through, or near, Milton Green, Coddington, Shocklach and Grindley Brook.[2]
