It’s Tuesday, which means one thing: it’s time for our weekly sneak peek into the features in our latest issue!

On the cover of our November 21 issue, Neil McAllister has been exploring Sandbach in Cheshire.

Just off the M6, Neil feels Sandbach is the perfect place to break up a journey along the motorway. He and Hazel checked out the town’s historic churches, cosy pubs and wide variety of shops.

Autumn appears to be the perfect time to visit this quaint town, which looks picture perfect drenched in autumnal hues.

These dogs are the first in the UK trained to detect Japanese knotweed, a plant which can cause significant structural damage to properties if left untreated.
