Pool Wood is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Cheshire, in the northwest of England. Covering an area of approximately 50 acres, it is a serene and idyllic setting for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The wood is nestled in the heart of the Cheshire countryside, surrounded by rolling hills and meandering streams.

The woodland is predominantly composed of native broadleaf trees, including oak, ash, beech, and birch, which provide ample shade and a rich habitat for a diverse range of flora and fauna. Bluebells carpet the forest floor in spring, creating a vibrant and enchanting display of color. Additionally, a variety of ferns, mosses, and fungi can be found throughout the wood.

Walking trails meander through the wood, allowing visitors to explore its beauty at their own pace. The tranquil atmosphere and peaceful surroundings make it an ideal spot for leisurely strolls, picnics, and nature photography. Birdwatchers will delight in the opportunity to spot a range of avian species such as woodpeckers, owls, and various songbirds.

The wood is managed by local conservation organizations, who work tirelessly to protect and preserve its natural beauty. They regularly organize educational events and guided walks to promote awareness and understanding of the woodland ecosystem.

Whether you are seeking solace in nature, looking to connect with the great outdoors, or simply want to enjoy a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Pool Wood in Cheshire is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered.

Salt Line Alsager The Salt Line is now a linear nature trail and cycleway starting near to the Wilbraham Arms in Alsager.

It follows the old mineral line from the Potteries through to Sandbach and the salt towns of S Cheshire.

Coal and limestone was carried into Cheshire where brine was heated in large open pans to leave white salt crystals which were then used in the making of washing soda, glass, soap and detergents.

The Salt Line is now in the ownership of Congleton Borough Council.
