Delamere Forest

About this activity

Enjoy a day out in nature at the incredibly popular Delamere Forest, just south-west of Manchester. Here, you'll be surrounded by families escaping the cities, basking in the peace of the forest, walking, strolling, pickinc conkers, biking, and just soaking up nature!

What's great about Delamere Forest is that it's accessible via road, but also accessible via its very own train station.

Once you've arrived, you’ll find plenty of easy-going trails for all ages and abilities, so if you want a casual stroll with the family, or a hike to admire the view across to Liverpool’s famous skyline, there is something for everyone!

The forest also offer orienteering courses for all abilities, or you just might opt for some peace and quiet to watch the wildlife playing and spending time by the lake.

If you want to spend longer in the region, it's worth nothing there are forest cabins available, perfect for those looking to escape the everyday!

For those families who want to add something else into their day, look at the bike hire that the forest offer. Biking is a great way to get exercise and explore more of the forest!

Don't miss also the nearby Go Ape, for those with even more energy! Here you can really enjoy a bird’s eye view of the forest!

Delamere Forest also has a Visitor Centre (always a great place to start!) as well as a cafe to fill those rumbling tummies. You could always take a picnic too!

C'mon kids, nature is calling!
