Cheshire Leisure Drive

The Cheshire Leisure Drive is a pair of circular routes around the Cheshire countryside. One drive covers central Cheshire and another covers part of the Wirral.  Many of the direction signs have fallen over the years, however there enough signs still present to create an interest on road forum groups. 

Looking at historic Google StreetView images many of the signs can be seen at junctions back in 2009, and judging from the remaining signs the route appears to be driven in an anti-clockwise direction 

Here is a pdf of the official Cheshire Leisure Drive book, covering the Wirral section, produced by Cheshire County Council (probably in the 1970s). Click to open and read:
