Alderley Edge is being promoted as an inspiring place to walk in a new collection of 'We Are Northern Train Trails'.
Northern has linked up with TV series Walks Around Britain, to develop a series of walks which are easily accessible from stations across the north of England.
Each of the 12 walks has been designed by Walks Around Britain's writer and presenter Andrew White to showcase the variety of walking on offer to Northern's customers.
Andrew White said "You don't need to be a dedicated hiker to make the most of the amazing walking on our doorsteps. I've always believed that some of the most rewarding walks are the ones that reveal the special experiences available closer to home.
"I frequently travel by train when I'm going walking because it makes it so much easier to plan routes freely, missing out the boring bits and, of course, you can leave the car at home. Many of the routes I've developed for Northern take you from one station to another, which means you can simply get the train home when you've finished."
In addition to Alderley Edge, the collection of 12 We Are Northern Train Trails includes Liverpool city centre and Windermere and many that can be navigated with a push-chair, linear walks, circular walks and some more challenging routes for those who want a full day's walking.
As part of the partnership, thee trails will also feature in series four and five of Walks Around Britain, which can be seen on Community Channel, Horse & Country TV and Amazon Prime as well as on Local TV channels across the north of England.
Northern's Head of Brand and Business Development, Joanne Morley said: "Our trains stop at remote villages and thriving cities and once you're there, there's no better way to explore a place than on foot."
The walking guides are available to download from the Northern website.
