Hanmer Mere (Welsh: Llyn Hanmer) is a natural lake and a site of Special Scientific Interest in Wrexham County Borough, Wales. The village of Hanmer is at the northern end of the lake. The lake is 18 hectares (44 acres) in extent.

Hanmer is home to one of the nine Meres in this part of the world and it is a beautiful tranquil place. Having the bulk of St Chad's church looking down over the whole scene just adds to the ambience of the whole place.

Colemere's a great place to stop off for a break, there's a bench and a nice picnic lawn by the car park. It's also a very nice walk around the mere if you can spare the time on your ride.

Handy place to stop if you want a nice quite spot by a lake. There's also a small store on the corner if you want to buy a snack or drink.

Colemere is one of Shropshire's most beautiful meres. Almost entirely surrounded by woodland and grassland, it's a haven for wildlife - keep an eye out for wildfowl and wading birds, wildflowers including a number of different species of orchid.

With a lot of pleasure I stopped by and sat on a bench admiring the beauty of the Mere.

The 'moss' in Brown Moss actually refers to a peat bog rather than any particularly mossy nature. This reserve is teeming with wildlife from insects to birds and has several walking trails criss-crossing its modest expanse. Largely a marsh and wetland area, some of the residents here include great-crested newts, dragonflies and frogs. This is one of the country's most important reserves for plant species too, so come with keen eyes, ready to spot unusual flora.

The meres and mosses of northern Shropshire are rather unique places and Ellesmere's is the largest of the lot. The lake lies alongside the historic town and is surrounded by lovely parkland and gardens, particularly popular in the warmer months. Home to thriving wildlife, the Mere is a fascinating place, left by receding glaciers eons ago. Dawn and dusk, winter or summer, this lake has many personalities and all are stunning. In the summertime, you can hire rowing boats and mess about on the water.
