Race Location

Delamere Forest is a large wood in the village of Delamere in Cheshire, North West England. The woodland, which is managed by Forestry England, covers an area of 972 hectares making it the largest area of woodland in the county. Host to no less than two sites of special scientific interest (SSSI) you may be lucky enough to spot some rare wetland plants and species of dragonfly.

For those keen Trigpointers there is also a trig point at the summit!
