Part of the northern section of Delamere Forest. Delamere, which means "forest of the lakes", is all that remains of the great forests of Mara and Mondrem which covered over 60 square miles (160 km2) of this part of Cheshire. Established in the late 11th century, they were the hunting forests of the Norman Earls of Chester. Today the woodland, which is managed by the Forestry Commission, covers an area of 972 hectares (2,400 acres) making it the largest area of woodland in the county. It contains a mixture of deciduous and evergreen trees. Source: Wikipedia Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delamere_Forest
