Sightseeing
Delamere, south-west of Manchester, and only 25 minutes from Sandbach (in the car), is a place to let off steam, escape the crowds and find peace in the heart of the forest.
You’ll find easy-going trails for all abilities, a hike to admire the view across to Liverpool’s famous skyline, orienteering courses for all abilities or a bit of peace and quiet to watch the wildlife by the lake. If you would rather get a bird’s eye view of the forest, treat your group to an outdoor adventure at Go Ape! If heights aren’t your thing, we also have Segway hire available.
