An impressive monument of decay - sic transit gloria mundi

The 'Pennine Trail' already brings many visitors to the area and of course this memorial site will encourage people that wish to stroll along this famous trail which eventually leads up to the Carlisle borders. Life for a Life planting areas are natural environments where we encourage wildlife and plantlife to flourish,

This site is situated at the beginning of the famous 'Pennine Trail' and was officially opened on 6th February 2004 by His Grace, The Duke of Westminster. This extensive site runs towards the banks of the River Mersey and has been refurbished by Life for a Life and United Utilities. Life for a Life in growing partnership with United Utilities, has reclaimed land that was derelict for over many years and has now been put to use for the benefit of the community. The site has a well established footpath through the area, suitable for wheelchair users and the elderly. Many benches have been installed throughout the memorial forest, which can be enjoyed by all visitors.

The boat is just left in the canal, but it is a haven for wildlife.

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.
