タルポリーでののおすすめMTBライド

Nice place for a quick recharge while on the trail run/ride

bit of ahill to climb but well worth the views

The blue graded sections of trail at Delamere are all flowy, roll-able singletrack. Great for experienced riders to swoop along or newer riders to practice following a brilliant trail through the woods.

Nice little community run cafe on the Whitegate Way. Plenty of outside seating including some under cover.

Watch out for the nettles!!

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.

Great cafe. Open 10-4 pm. Separate public toilets available.

Great spot for a refuel

Blakemere Moss is a flooded area of Delamere Forest. The lake is rich in biodiversity and is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. It is a great place for birdwatching and is home to species such as greylags, Canada geese, black-headed gulls, coots, mallards, and lapwings. The area was drained in the 1800s, supposedly by prisoners from the Napoleonic Wars, and planted with trees. It was turned back into a lake in the 1990s and tree stumps still poke through the water’s surface.

Lovely lake views along the cycle path. Segways are also available at Delamere Forest as an alternative method to explore this beauty spot

Great day biking

Fire track round the forest. Great for family but disappointing for anyone looking for something exciting.

Nice little shortcut towards the Whitegate Way. Hill becomes very muddy!
