킹슬리 최고의 사이클링 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.

Great ride , some good climbs

Beautiful trails in autumn colours

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.

can be pricey

When you’re on your own and don’t want to leave your bike you can still scoff delicious scones.

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.
