パーティントンの天然記念物・トップ5

Cadishead & Little Woolden Moss is a once-exploited peat bog that’s starting to be reclaimed by nature, thanks to staff and volunteers at Lancashire Wildlife Trust. Peat extraction in the 19th century almost destroyed this peatland and many others in the region. But in recent years, awareness has grown about the importance of these habitats. The reserve is home to common lizards and dragonflies, as well as birds such as hobby, short-eared owl, skylark, and merlin. Sphagnum mosses thrive in the reserve, providing a colourful carpet and playing an important role in the formation of new peat.

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.

The circular route is easy to walk on and is also great fun for children.

Pennington Flash lake and the surrounding woodland and paths are a local nature reserve and country park. A Flash is the term for a lake formed in a depression caused by mining subsidence. It's interesting that the industrial past has created beautiful places like this.

A nicely laid out garden including the satire if Shep the dog for those of you old enough to remember, a pond and dome nice sculptures. A great place for a picnic.

Lymm dam is well worth a visit, really picturesque

Lovely spot for a coffee or ice cream!!

Usually an ice cream van here.
