amazing walk just cant take the path next to the hatch mere nature reserve because it's very deep mud at the moment

very boggy here, step into the trees at the left then edge along the bank to get on the track.

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

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.
