Delamere Forest on The Sandstone Ridge, is Cheshire's largest area of woodland.

There is woodland and then there is ancient woodland.

Delamere Forest boasts beautiful deciduous trees and stately evergreens; a microcosm of all that is good about woodland.

Delamere is also a haven for wildlife including the:

• small tortoiseshell butterfly
• greater spotted woodpecker
• white faced darter dragonfly
• green woodpecker
• siskin and
• southern hawker dragonfly

At Blakemere Lake there are nesting black headed gulls.

During national Walking Month, enjoy a stroll through this enviable woodland.
