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 Duck Decoy at Hale is an impressive, complex monument, now a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a Site of Special Scientific Interest. It lies in the lowest part of the landscape, amongst streams and wetlands and close the the River Mersey itself. This part of the manor of Hale was drained in the medieval period, with the idea of increasing the amount of land suitable to plough. The trade-off was a reduction in land that wetland wildfowl could use. To counter this, the duck decoy was built. Hale Decoy was designed to look like the many other coverts that dotted the landscape. The lack of shelter for water birds would make it an attractive spot. A pond was dug in the centre to complete the picture.

Could become overgrown in summer or muddy if wet. Interest spot to see

Stunning views of Delamere and beyond

A good hard packed trail ,very steep in parts but boy worth it for the cracking views and some steep descents
