Dist:1.0km<br/>The Salt Line is now a linear nature trail and cycleway starting near to the Wilbraham Arms in Alsager. It follows the old mineral line from the Potteries through to Sandbach and the salt towns of S Cheshire. Coal and limestone was carried into Cheshire where brine was heated in large open pans to leave white salt crystals which were then used in the making of washing soda, glass, soap and detergents. The Salt Line is now in the ownership of Congleton Borough Council.

Dist:1.0km south<br/>The first of two Anglian church buildings in the small town of Alsager. Built and endowed in the year 1789 by three sisters, Margaret, Judith and Mary Alsager, of the Manor of Alsager. It is in the Palladin style popular in the late c18th. The mother church at that time was the church in Barthomley, now a much smaller community than Alsager, and being three miles distant, with the roads very bad between, Christ Church was built for the convenience and comfort of tenants and others who found it difficult to attend at Barthomley.
