Last week Lorraine and I had chosen the best day weather wise to walk in Delamere Forest. When I bought the walking guide from the Linmere visitor centre, the countryside ranger recommended the climb up 'Old Pale' to the new sculpture on the hill. The views were superb out to Liverpool and the welsh hills. Up there the new standing stones were hewn out of rock from the 6 counties to be seen on a clear day as this. Then a new path spiralled to the central stone of Cheshire sandstone. It seemed to be a sacred magical place.
I do recommend buying the map costing £2 as it has all the paths and numbered posts so it is relatively easy to negotiate the forest with it's myriad of walks.
As well as the visitor centre cafe there is also a cafe at the Delamere station building.
The Go Ape assault course is a source of interest but no-one was playing this day.
