This is the stream that runs from the weir (Image) at the only outfall from Blakemere Moss lake. The lake was created sometime after 2000 by the Forestry Commission to attempt to recreate a habitat that supposedly existed "thousands of years ago". Prior to the flooding it was an area of marshland as depicted by the 2000 edition of the Ordnance Survey 1:25000 map of Delamere Forest, although later editions do now show the lake.
