nice path through Northwich town centre

Refreshment stop at the Leigh Arms Pub.

Nice quiet, straight and fairly flat country road. The area is quite agricultural, but there is heath land to the west.

bit of ahill to climb but well worth the views

Very impressive looking viaduct

This lane is lined with blackberries at the end of July.

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

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

Decent footwear is a must unless it's not rained for a long time. Ground is soft, recommend trail shoes.

One of the hand rails is a bit wobbly!

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 food and beer garden at back that captures the sun.

Acton Swing Bridge spans 272 feet (83.5 m) across the River Weaver. Opened in 1933, the bridge carries the A49 over the river. Today's bridge replaced an older stone bridge at a cost of £52,000. The first bridge dated back to 1751. The iconic steel bridge was based on designs created in 1893 by John Arthur Saner.

Surprisingly, the council recycling place is just behind those trees you see on the right. The bike on the grass , used to be on the old roundabout top of town denoting the bakery as is Roberts Bakery in Northwich. Top picture of the Heron, was taken from the bridge behind me, that goes to Marbury Park, but only on foot. A very nice walk Neumans & Ashtons flashes and Carey Park are very close by

Nice bridge crossing the Weaver Navigation

Interesting to get so close to quite an impressive length of arches.

A short route between Northwich Town centre and the River Weaver.

Beautiful ride down the River Weaver
