Descrição
The Sandbach Flashes are an all embracing term used to describe the various flashes in the area to the west and south of Sandbach, and north of Crewe. These started forming in the 1930's after land subsidence following brine extraction. All flashes are now privately owned and there is no public access. However, most are watchable from public roads and tracks. Most of the flashes area is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). About 150 different bird species are seen every year. There are currently fourteen flashes. Elton Hall Flash is one of the most important. The Salt Pan and back pool are separated by willow scrub and the river Wheelock but the open water and fringe is a top site for waders, dabbling ducks and a gull roost in winter - subject to flooding.
