Hatchmere, Nature reserve and protected wetland in Delamere Forest, England
Hatchmere spans 13.3 hectares of land containing a mere, wet woodlands, and heathland areas that support numerous plant and animal species.
The mere formed approximately 15,000 years ago as a kettle hole when glacial ice melted during the last ice age in the Delamere region.
The Cheshire Wildlife Trust maintains partnerships with local organizations to enhance conservation efforts and create educational programs about the ecosystem.
Visitors can access the 2-kilometer circular walking trail by parking along Ashton Road, following the marked paths to prevent accidents in boggy areas.
The nature reserve houses 13 dragonfly species and maintains a 10-acre enclosed area where Eurasian beavers were introduced in 2020.
