The civil parish of Delamere and Oakmere sits in Cheshire West and Chester, England, and is dominated by the sweep of Delamere Forest and the small glacial lake that gives Oakmere its name. The forest is a popular recreational landscape with walking and cycling trails, mountain‑bike routes and treetop activity, while the mere and surrounding wetlands are local landmarks valued for wildlife and informal countryside recreation.
Historically the woodlands were part of the medieval hunting forest linked to the Earls of Chester, and today the area combines traditional farming and forestry with a modest tourism and commuter economy - regular rail links make Chester and Manchester easily reachable. Village life is quietly active, with community groups, village halls and outdoor events reflecting a rural character that attracts both long‑term residents and weekend visitors.
