라크 데니스 주변 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

It does get busy around the visitors' centre and the Gruffalo trail. However, if you ride up Pale Hill and follow the perimeter of the forest, there are plenty of quiet trails to explore. Keep your eyes peeled for single tracks going through the forest, there lots of off-the-beaten-path routes to follow if you look for them.

nice quiet roads

nice path through Northwich town centre

We rode this as part of Laureen’s Ride, a waymarked horse riding/cycling route along quiet lanes and bridleways. Conditions perfect beginning of April, although for cyclists, this is a dry weather ride. It will get very muddy.

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.

These are 2 different cafes, neither of which are in the dropped pin location. One is on the Whitegate Way & the other is in Delamere Forest!

nice village cafe with freshly baked scones.

Good stretch of a gravel. Great for family bike trips

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

Nice stretch of a premium gravel for a fast ride

Stunning engineering and a good visitor centre

Avoid when rains heavily as does not drain! (You know it's bad when mini bridges from sticks are placed across swamp puddles!)

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

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

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!

Nice gravel road. But busy at weekends.

Note: this stretch is a woodland footpath, overgrown in places. One for the off-road enthusiast.

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.
