Delamere forest trails
I will be going back as mentioned before but this place needs more markers in place as I found myself blasting down dirt trails to be confronted with dead ends or trails not passable due to tree felling hence having to go back on my journey. Did enjoy going up to the old pale opposite the cafe/car park which takes you to the transmitter mast and with some great views which is worth the hard work biking it up there. While i was out I just said to myself get lost and follow any trail and see what happens which i did but this place needs more markers to guide us on the way but this may be due to my lack of knowledge of the trails so i stand to be corrected. One point I will mention is you can park on ashton rd at the back end of the forest for free then bike it to the trails and not have to worry about the car park closing while you are out having fun.
Good points:
Easy to find with lots of facilities like cafe, bike shop and toilets etc but parking is at a cost.
Bad points:
To be fair it's my first time on a bike at delamere and I will be going again but i felt let down by the lack of marker signs helping me on my way. After 5 mins i found myself following a fellow mtb rider as he looked like a regular to the trails which helped me gain some knowledge and direction. I agree with other comments on here as it feels more geared up towards the walkers than bikers.
Would you recommend?
*Yes*
