Ickworth – An Italianate Palace

Sunday 10th November was the Stockport Community Cycling Club eXtra ride to Foxwist Green. The eXtra rides tend to be slightly longer than normal Sunday rides. This week we met in the car park near to Wilmslow Leisure Centre. It was a chilly but bright morning. We left Wilmslow and cycled off down to the new(ish) Alderley Edge bypass and cycled along the cycle path there. About half way along we turn off near Nether Alderley and headed along along…
