Salcey Forest

Salcey Forest is a huge ancient forest, dating right back to Roman times.

There are lots of places to explore, cycle round and play in. You can build dens, look out for forest animals, or if you are really adventurous, go up the Tree Top Way. At the top of this amazing wooden walkway you can see right over Northampton and the surrounding countryside. The Forest Cafe is a great place to stop for an ice-cream or a bite to eat, and it'€™s right next to the play area.
Two of our trails, including the Tree Top Way, are all-ability.

Salcey Forest has a fantastic cafe which offers everything from soups and sandwiches to home-made quiche (and of course, ice-creams).

The Forest Cafe can cater for a wide range of dietary requirements, and the meals are healthy and home-made.

Ladies' toilets, gentlemen'€™s toilets, disabled access toilets, baby change facilities.

The Forest Cafe has milk warming facilities for parents.

Salcey Forest can be reached from J15 on the M1 by following signs for Wooton and then Quinton. It lies directly to the east of Hartwell village.

Most of the walking trails in Salcey Forest are buggy-friendly, but if you want to go off road you might need wellies when it'™s wet.

If you've had fun on your family day out to Salcey Forest, tell us about it your visit, so other people will know it's a great place to go as well.
