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.

the path around east side is very muddy in parts definitely need boots or wellies, not walking shoes like me lol

amazing walk just cant take the path next to the hatch mere nature reserve because it's very deep mud at the moment

Could become overgrown in summer or muddy if wet. Interest spot to see

Pickmere Lake is a popular spot in Cheshire for open water swimming. Lawns and Picnic tables as well as car parking are available throughout the site.

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.

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.

nice place to stop off, but no shop to buy refreshments nearby

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

Its the perfect place to walk if your a naturist,plenty of easy walking. I'm planning a walk there very soon.

Worth the little detour off the main paths - been coming to Delamere for many years walking and running before spotting this little "lake" as a highlight on the Komoot map.

Delamere means 'forest of the lakes' – there are lots of small lakes dotted amongst the trees. The forest was established in the 11th century as a hunting forest. In 1924, it was given to the Forestry Commission. You can enjoy the park from 9am - 7pm daily. More information can be found here: https://www.forestryengland.uk/delamere-forest
