Αξιοθέατα και μέρη για επίσκεψη Comberbach - Top 20

Υπέροχη βόλτα μέσα στο δάσος Delamere. Δεν μπορείτε να κάνετε λάθος με ένα mtb ή emtb. Μπήκα στο δάσος στο New Pale και έκανα πολλές διαδρομές προς τα εξοχικά καταλύματα και βγήκα στο Waterloo Lane.

Great ride , some good climbs

Cafe toilets and can pay to go on boat lift

It does get busy around the visitors' centre and the Gruffalo trail. However, if you ride up Pale Hill and follow the perimeter of the forest, there are plenty of quiet trails to explore. Keep your eyes peeled for single tracks going through the forest, there lots of off-the-beaten-path routes to follow if you look for them.

Check Boat Lift Visitor Centre shop and cafe opening times, In the winter and off peak times its sometimes closed.

It is a small channel just off the Manchester Ship Canal At Stockton Heath. It is a lock with 3 gates and various manual pulling systems dotted around the site to mechanically open/close the gates. I looked in Emapping Cheshire and an aerial photo of the site in the 70’s shows that the other side of the locks was a waterway that fed into the River Mersey. That section was the Runcorn and Latchford Canal, it is closed off now and vanishes in the mass of undergrowth at the lock section.

Open 24 hours a day with a variety of Picnic benches, outstanding water features, wildlife and heritage. The route links to the Trans Pennine Trail and there is a free public carpark if spaces are limited in Lymm village centre.

Blakemere Moss at Delamere Forest is a reclaimed wetland area. The Moss was originally formed from two kettle holes (water filled hollows formed by a detached mass of glacial ice melted in situ towards the end of the last ice age). Delamere Forest is made up of more than 100 peatland basins and includes several sites of rare 'quaking' bogland, a phenomenon in which sphagnum mosses form a carpet above peaty water that appears to tremble when trodden on. The area was drained from the 1800's, supposedly by prisoners from the Napoleonic Wars and planted with trees, (mainly oak and Scot's Pine) between 1793-1815 to provide timber for shipbuilding. The Forestry Commission planted the moss with pine and western hemlock during the 1940s, which proved uneconomic. In the late 1990's the Commission allowed the area to re-flood again naturally.
