*update- The roadworks are now finished & several more Blue rated trails have been installed - Follow the Grey Arrow sign posts & the link* Delamere is a very popular spot which currently undergoing extensive redevelopment with introduction of luxury chalets presently under construction along with a very modern new visitor centre & further parking. New multi use paths & access roads are also being constructed to provide easier access for everyone. This has now been completed.
As for cycling, there are a couple of Blue rated wide 'crush & run' limestone chip affairs, ideal for families, could be boring for hard hitting off-road enthusiast but fear not there a a myriad of unofficial trails littered throughout the forest plus there's also an official 'Skills' area near the Manley area of the Forest, also easily accessed from 'Foxes Howell' on Ashton Rd.
