Enjoy a fun day out in Cheshire’s largest woodland!

Located between Liverpool and Manchester, Delamere Forest provides a stunning setting for your next family adventure. Whether a leisurely wander through the trees, scaling the heights at Go Ape, an adventure in the deep, dark wood finding all the sculptures from the Gruffalo story or enjoying a family bike ride on our traffic-free trails, Delamere Forest is bursting with opportunities to explore the great outdoors. Explore the stunning landscape on a choice of five waymarked shared-use trails or the blue-graded single track bike trail. If you’re stuck for wheels why not visit Delamere Forest Bike Hire, who’ll happily fix you up with a hire bike, they’ve got something to suit everybody. Be sure to visit the eco-friendly visitor centre which is also home to the Delamere Forest Café – for all the post-fun refreshments you’ll need.  You can become a Delamere Forest member for £72 and get free parking all year round, plus a range of discounts and benefits. You’ll also be supporting the nation’s forests. Find out more here.
