The photographs here show three popular forests in north-west England, all managed by the commission. Whinlatter Forest is the only mountain forest in England and popular with bikers and walkers. Grizedale Forest includes ancient woodland and a sculpture trail. Parts of Delamere Forest, the largest area of woodland in Cheshire, date back to the 11th century. Its name means "forest of lakes", reflecting its rare quaking bog.
