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

Stunning views of Delamere and beyond

A good hard packed trail ,very steep in parts but boy worth it for the cracking views and some steep descents

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.

Amazing views of the Cheshire plain.

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.

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

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.

Black Lake is a tranquil nature reserve within Delamere Forest. The reserve is home to many species of dragonfly and damselfly, as well as unusual mosses. The lake is a small pool and bog lying in a natural depression in the land. It is a wonderful place to stop for a moment and contemplate your surroundings.

Spread over an area of 3,084 hectares, the Hale Duck Decoy is a duck decoy and nature reserve. It is not known exactly when the duck decoys were built, but it's thought that they date back to the 1600s. Today, the woodland and marsh are home to various species of wildlife such as otters and kingfishers. The historic significance of the duck decoys led the site to be placed on Historic England's Heritage at Risk list in November 2018.
