Forest Camp, from the Whitegate Way A view into the woodland scout camp, including one end of a building not shown on maps and hidden from aerial imagery by trees, so the location is approximate. The caption to a historic image <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6441476">SJ5969 : Crossing The Reeka</a> explains that this area has been used as a scout camp since 1947 or earlier.

Hut beside the Whitegate Way The brick hut was probably for the use of railway maintenance workers. There certainly was never a station here.

Tarporley Road bridge over the Whitegate Way The bridge carries the A49. A flight of steps links the road to the trail. Since the railway tracks were lifted, concrete block walls and steel girders have been added to strengthen the deck. <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/196159">SJ5969 : Whitegate Way, Oakmere</a> taken in 2006 shows it from the other side with this arrangement already in place.

Nunsmere Hall A rather superior hotel, surrounded by a lake in Cheshire. Built around 1900 for Sir Aubrey Brocklebank, Chairman of The Brocklebank Shipping Line, and now an hotel and wedding venue.

The Nunsmere Described by the hotel (Nunsmere Hall) as a 60-acre lake, I strongly suspect it is nothing of the kind. I think it is a 60 acre former gravel pit. The southern quarter of the lake is owned by the forestry commission, not the hotel.

Nunsmere The undulating landscape of this area of Cheshire was forged by melting glacial waters at the end of the last Ice Age and is home to a number of lakes, including Blakemere Moss, Hatchmere Lake, Oak Mere and Nunsmere, all within the vicinity of Delamere Forest. While some of the lakes that remain are glacial in origin, others have been created by flooding pits caused by gravel and sand extraction in the area.
