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

Probably the highest spot on the walk, open and breezy with a panoramic view of the Mersey estuary. You deserve a breather here!

very boggy here, step into the trees at the left then edge along the bank to get on the track.

The Duck Decoy at Hale is an impressive, complex monument, now a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a Site of Special Scientific Interest. It lies in the lowest part of the landscape, amongst streams and wetlands and close the the River Mersey itself. This part of the manor of Hale was drained in the medieval period, with the idea of increasing the amount of land suitable to plough. The trade-off was a reduction in land that wetland wildfowl could use. To counter this, the duck decoy was built. Hale Decoy was designed to look like the many other coverts that dotted the landscape. The lack of shelter for water birds would make it an attractive spot. A pond was dug in the centre to complete the picture.

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

Visit these and you are trespassing!

Helsby Hill is an Iron Age hillfort commanding a prominent position above Helsby village and grand views in all directions. Combining both natural and human-made features, steep cliffs on the northern and western sides would have provided a natural semicircular defence, while double rampart earthworks to the south and east would have provided protection to those sides.

Delamere forest is a great place for allthe family to go. With many good paths makes a great place for a day out, as well as having good facilities, and parking. Gets busy at weekends.
