The Lindow Man Lookout is open! 🍾

This weekend, Wilmslow Town Council Mayor Sally Harrison and Councillor Jon Kelly publicly opened the Lindow Man Lookout! John Handley, Friends of Lindow Moss President, gave a brief history on what it’s taken to get to this point while humans and dogs listened, before Sally and Jon cut the ribbon. ✂️

The Lindow Moss Lookout (previously nicknamed the boardwalk) is now complete thanks to a monumental effort from a whole team of passionate people who made it possible 💚

Last night we had a private opening of the Lindow Man Lookout with some of the people that made it what it is! As you can see, it really does take a village to make these things happen 💪

Thanks gang, we really couldn’t have done it without you 💚

The final piece of the puzzle!

A huge thanks to our wonderful volunteers, Garry and Mike, alongside Adam and Izzy, for fitting the top to the Lindow Man Lookout. Between them, they carried the huge 3m+ solid oak boards onto the Moss, measured every length and angle 100x, placed them all into position before cutting the boards down to size, then screwed them in tightly 💪

Thanks to Garry, Mike and a whole army of volunteers, visitors can now read about 18,000 years of history. 🤯

We are so very proud of all of our incredible volunteers who made this boardwalk happen, and we can’t wait to officially open it on Saturday morning! The link for tickets to the opening is in our bio 🔗

Our summer events program has now come to an end 💔

Over the last 12 weeks we’ve counted 7 different species of bat on the bat walks, got distracted by 3 juvenile tawny owls, cleared 8 acres of Himalayan Balsam, caught (and safely released!) over 30 different moth species and counted and recorded over 500+ different plant and animal species during our bioblitz 😱 We hosted a family fun day on the one day of rain we saw in weeks, helped the Brownies get their archaeology badge, attended the artisan markets to bring the bog to the town centre, unveiled a new Lindow Man board outside the library and build a whole boardwalk!! It’s been manic! Huge huge thanks to all our volunteers that have made it possible, you’re the best 💚

Summer may be over, but the events keep coming! For a full list of upcoming events, visit the link in the bio 💪

We’ve had a few people ask ‘why do you need a boardwalk and not just a viewing platform?’. Well now it’s finally rained we can show people why!

Dry feet all year round? Yes please! 🥾

Everyone meet Adam 👋

Adam is the new Lindow Moss Project Manager! 🤩 He has spent his first week getting to know the site, the people and the history of Lindow! When he’s not on Lindow, you’ll find him armed with his camera while bird watching, riding his gravel bike, or exploring the countryside with his girlfriend, Jess 🦅

If you see him out and about make sure to say hi! 👋

The top rail is on the Lindow Man Lookout!

Pete & Ryan have completed what they can of the boardwalk and it is looking great! 🥳 The information board & timeline will go on as soon as they arrive, and then the whole thing is done!

It’s been a monumental effort getting to this stage, just one final push to the finish line 💪

19/08/2026

A lot can change in two weeks!

Today Pete & Ryan finished building the boardwalk that leads up to the viewing platform that overlooks where Lindow man was found 💪 Work will stop for a couple of weeks now as we are waiting for the oak railing that goes along the viewing platform and the information boards to be delivered.

We cannot wait to see it finished 😍

18/08/2026

The full length of the boardwalk that leads to a viewing platform is now in place! Pete & Ryan from Horticon are finishing off adding the non slip decking over the next couple of days, then they will be back to install the oak railing for the viewing platform 🥳

Whilst the boardwalk is safe to walk on, please don’t walk on the unfinished bit as if it is a tightrope like a group we saw this morning 😬
