A lake in Cheshire listed by the Society as a desirable nature reserve. Today, Rostherne Mere is protected as a National Nature Reserve (NNR) and internationally recognised as an important wetland (Ramsar site). Part of the ‘Meres and Mosses’ in North West England, it is the deepest and largest mere in Cheshire. It supports overwintering wildfowl like teal and pintail, and is important for white-letter and purple hairstreak butterflies in summer. Now managed by Natural England.
