Attraction Information

Looking for a fun idea for your next family outing? Why don’t you venture into the heart of nature with a trip to Delamere forest? The selection of easy-access walking trails guarantees that anyone can explore the woodland and enjoy a much-needed escape from the busy city life. There’s even a segway trail option!

Things To Do
The kids will love all the fun trails at Delamere Forest because everyone loves to explore and discover new things! Love a bit of a challenge? Call on your wild side and take your adventure to the treetops at the Go Ape high ropes course. You’ll have a swinging great time! From zip lines and claiming nets and rope ladders to giant swings!

Take your pick of Delamere's trails! There are 4 shared use trails in total which are for cycling, walking and horse riding! The other scenic trail is for walking only and is called the Old Pale Trail, which is up a steep incline. If you are looking for more of a challenge, there is an orienteering course available! Maps for orienteering can be purchased from the Welcome Centre.

Food & Drink
