Attraction Information
Grizedale Forest offers beautiful views from Lake Windermere to Coniston Water. Just follow one of the waymarked walking trails and it will lead you to the best bits in the forest. Pick up a trail map from the information centre at the start of you visit and you’ll be ready to start exploring.
Grizedale is famous for its outdoor sculptures. With over 40 across the forest, how many can you and the kids find? Another great way to turn your family adventure into a game for the little ones is the A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon Glow Trail* you can complete fun activities and help Shaun and Lu-La escape Agent Red.
If you're after more adventure, try the Go-Ape course or the North Face mountain bike trail for some testing single track. Grizedale Mountain Bikes, the onsite bike shop, has a wide range of kiddie and full size bikes for hire, too, so there's no end to the adventures you can start here!
