    Set in the heart of rural Cheshire, Delamere Grove is

    a peaceful retirement park nestled on the side of a

    hill with magnificent views across the Cheshire plain.

    With only 23 Park Homes, for all year round living, this

    small park is ideally located within open countryside,

    yet close to everyday facilities.

    Delamere village boasts a village store, golf course,

    church, 2 country pubs and of course the famous

    Delamere Forest. Bus stops and a mainline train

    station provide fantastic transport links. The historic

    towns of Northwich and Frodsham are close by, as is

    the Roman walled city of Chester.

    ChIldhood iays give me sme f my fnestmemories of growing up. The long summer holidays

    seemed to last forever. During the last week of Augustas a famiy we wu g smewere by te sea anliving in Stoke many of my holidays were spent on theNrt Waes Cast, Ry, Cwyn Bay, lanun anPrestatyn. Chester for my dad was not an enjoyableexperience as we travee by car, tere was n A55 inthe 70s and Chester was something of a bottleneckas we a t g ut n te cast ra, wic meantgoing through Saltney. I remember vividly the bridge in
