バイリーのおすすめMTBライド

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。

nice path through Northwich town centre

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

bit of ahill to climb but well worth the views

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

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.

Accessible all year round

The track down from Moulton (Niddries Lane) is a bit rough for a road bike, but not too bad if it's not wet and muddy
