Dairy Wood is a picturesque woodland area located in the county of Cheshire, England. Situated near the village of Dairy, this wood is known for its natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere. Spanning over a considerable area, Dairy Wood is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and families seeking a peaceful retreat from the bustling city life.

The woodland is primarily composed of broad-leaved trees, including oak, beech, and birch, which create a dense canopy that provides shade and shelter for a variety of flora and fauna. Bluebells carpet the forest floor during spring, adding a vibrant burst of color to the landscape. The diverse ecosystem is home to a range of wildlife, including squirrels, foxes, and a variety of bird species.

Dairy Wood offers several well-marked trails, allowing visitors to explore its scenic beauty at their own pace. The paths wind through the forest, providing opportunities for hikers and walkers to immerse themselves in nature. The wood is also equipped with picnic areas and benches, inviting visitors to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

The wood is easily accessible, with a car park located nearby. It is often recommended to wear appropriate footwear, as the trails can become muddy during wet weather. Additionally, visitors are encouraged to respect the natural environment and take any litter with them to preserve the beauty of Dairy Wood for future generations.

Fishing by Cicely Mill These meres were not in existence according to the 1940's OS map, and must have been artificially created in the interim. Bordering on Cicely Lane near Rostherne, they are a popular spot for anglers.

Tatton Mere Mill Pool Located in the NE corner of the square, this small mill pool is on the outlet stream from Tatton Mere. Thanks to Judy Popley (Geograph visitor and ex Tatton Estate employee) for additional information. The water flow was used to generate electricity for the estate at one time and indeed the water is still used for the toilets in the stable yard. Pump house is out of shot to the left. The vehicle in the picture is that of the Park Rangers who appear to be maintaining the outlet.
