Local Attractions

The property dating in parts from 1711 and earlier times, is set within the Delamere Forest, Vale Royal area of Cheshire, which has long been regarded as some of the most scenic in the county, much favoured by tourists, visitors and home buyers wishing to view, walk and live in Delamere, an area of prestigious outstanding natural beauty, yet extremely accessible to Chester, Manchester, Liverpool and the airports, including all the commercial centres of the North West via the motorway links.

Wickentree is strategically placed to start your visit to Cheshire and the forest, with its own splendid setting and direct access in, the tonic air quality being second to none.  All the accommodation is set back off the roads to give safety to children, walkers and horse riders alike, being within 14 acres of  scenic views.  In the setting itself is incorporated a wild life pond, ideal for relaxation, complete with a forest backdrop.

Close by, in an exceptionally pretty area of the forest, there is Delamere Golf Club, where with prior arrangement through Wicken Tree, any golfing party who wish to play at the Golf Club can take the advantage of a 10% discount off green fees.  Additionally, bookings for dinner parties can be made. The private membership course is one of the finest heathland inland venues, and is exceptionally dry even after horrendous storms, making an ideal course to play off - this again making Wicken Tree an outstanding location for any golfing package breaks.

Also locally, there are horse riding, windsurfing, mountain bike hire facilities, and the well-known Sandstone Trail.  Wicken Tree is approximately 11 miles from the ancient walled city of Chester and 6 miles from the historic market town of Frodsham.  

The farm is surrounded by 2000 acres of these ancient woodland walks. A pub and Chinese Restaurant are two or three minutes walk away, also Hatchmere lake. In our opinion, the locality is a walkers, cyclists come mountain bikers paradise. Delamere railway station is half a mile away with a cafe, on the Manchester - Chester line, also within the next village, there is a good motor museum.
