크로튼 최고의 러닝 경로

Delamere Forest를 통과하는 멋진 라이딩. MTB나 EMTB를 타면 절대 실패할 수 없습니다. New Pale에서 숲에 들어가 홀리데이 롯지로 가는 많은 트레일을 돌아 Waterloo Lane으로 나왔습니다.

Historic feature and crossing point on the Weaver Navigation.

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.

The elegant, Grade II-listed Dutton Horse Bridge was built by John Arthur Saner, chief engineer to the Weaver Navigation Trust, in the early 20th century. Spanning a peaceful stretch of the River Weaver, it is one of the earliest examples of a laminated timber structure still standing today.

Good, cyclist-friendly pub, even when arriving cold and covered in mud.
