クロートンのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

デラメアの森を抜ける素敵なライド。MTBでもeMTBでも間違いないでしょう。ニューペールから森に入り、ホリデーロッジまでたくさんのトレイルを回り、ウォータールーレーンに出ました。

Beautiful trails in autumn colours

Refreshment stop at the Leigh Arms Pub.

Historic feature and crossing point on the Weaver Navigation.

Part of the GBDivide route. A slightly technical and narrow climb but with great views out over to the south.

You can ride underneath the northern side of the bridge to avoid crossing the road!

There is plenty of parking here, it's advised not to park on the pub car park unless you are going to be a customer. if you are intending to use the pub after your walk, you should be able to use their car park I would just let them know.

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.
