Oakmere hill fort
Oakmere hill fort is an Iron Age promontory fort hidden within the oak and birch woodland of Delamere Forest in Cheshire, its ancient earthworks still clearly readable in the landscape. The site feels genuinely mysterious — a place where the old boundaries between settled life and wild forest are palpable. The surrounding forest paths make it easy to combine a history-tinged visit with a rewarding woodland walk.
