It does get busy around the visitors' centre and the Gruffalo trail. However, if you ride up Pale Hill and follow the perimeter of the forest, there are plenty of quiet trails to explore. Keep your eyes peeled for single tracks going through the forest, there lots of off-the-beaten-path routes to follow if you look for them.

This memorial, erected in a prominent location, towers high above the landscape of Frodsham Hill, about two kilometers from the banks of the Mersey, which flows past Liverpool before reaching its estuary. Despite its beautiful location and fantastic views (weather permitting), it has a serious significance: it commemorates the many victims of war and tyranny claimed by the two terrible world wars in the first half of the last century. Thus, each of these WAR MEMORIALS, which hikers encounter time and again in so many places, has a message that remains relevant today: to remember the need to preserve peace!
