Brine's Brow Picnic Site

Tables and benches dot this elevated spot overlooking the Cheshire countryside, making it a proper little find for anyone based around Chester. The views stretch across rolling farmland and woodland - nothing spectacular, but pleasant enough on a clear day.

Families staying at nearby sites like Delamere Forest Camping will find this a handy pit stop. It's the sort of place that works well for a sandwich lunch after a walk, though don't expect facilities beyond the basic seating. The location feels peaceful without being remote, and there's usually decent parking.

Kids might get restless after twenty minutes unless they're happy scrambling about on the grass. Walking types will appreciate it more as part of a longer ramble through the area. The site sits close enough to Delamere Forest to combine with woodland walks, making it useful for those staying at Wild Shore Delamere or the various parks dotted around this corner of Cheshire.

Best visited when the weather's decent - there's precious little shelter if it turns. Allow half an hour tops unless you're genuinely planning to linger over a proper picnic. It's free, accessible, and does exactly what it says on the tin without any fuss.
