TheMercian Way is a 230 miles (370 km) long cycle path that runs fromSalisbury inWiltshire toChester inCheshire. Operated bySustrans, it is part ofNational Cycle Route 45, but is also well used by walkers. The path is so named because it passes through what was once the ancientAnglo-SaxonKingdom of Mercia. To reflect its name a number of waymarkers depicting Saxon warriors were commissioned and have been placed along the route.^[1]
