Graded forest roads offer easy ways to explore the\u00a0beautiful the mixed woodlands of Delamere Forest. Here and there your paths cross primeval meres \u2013 atmospheric relics of the Ice Age.<\/p>\n

This easy walk starts from the Forestry Commission Linmere Visitor Centre Car Park, near Delamere Station off the B5152.<\/p>\n

Delamere Forest walk<\/h2>\n
1. Start<\/strong><\/p>\n
Return along the access road; 130m along, turn left over the railway bridge. Turn right and immediately right again on to a track that follows first the railway line, then turns north east, beside a camping ground, to reach the main road. Cross into the car park road opposite; on your right is the eerie Dead Lake, with its drowned trees.<\/p>\n

2. Dead Lake<\/strong><\/p>\n
Enter the car park and turn right past the picnic area to a barrier. Join the gravel road beyond; in 70m go left on a wide path beneath soaring pines. Ease right with this, curling round to a fork (marked 21 on a post). Turn left and go ahead at the cross-track, continuing to a footbridge.<\/p>\n
