5 places left
An easy 6 mile walk along part of the Sandstone Trail in Delamere Forest.
We will meet at the Barns Bridge Gate Car Park and will walk through Delamere Forest on the Sandstone Trail. On leaving the Forest the trail goes up a slight hill, the summit - Pale Heights - has a trig point and three transmitter masts which carry radio, television and telephone signals. There is a view point with views of seven counties: Cheshire, Derbyshire, Lancashire, Shropshire and Staffordshire in England and Denbighshire and Flinshire in Wales.
We will then descend to the Forest Visitor Centre where we will stop for lunch (food and drinks are available to buy here). After lunch we return to the forest and walk around Blakemere Moss before returning to the start. There will be time to visit the nearby Carriers Inn after the walk.
What to bring
You will need good walking boots and waterproofs. It may be muddy in places.
Food & drink
Bring a packed lunch and drinks. We will stop at the Visitor Centre where you can buy food and drink.
