Grizedale Forest Park nestles in the heart of the Lake District between lakes Windermere and Coniston. Activities range from gentle walks to swinging through the trees on GoApe, enjoying a leisurely meal in the Café in the Forest to exhilarating mountain bike rides.

Our staff at the Visitor Centre and shop can help you plan your visit. There are eight waymarked walking trails ranging from the easy access Ridding Wood Trail to the strenuous Silurian Way, with sixty sculptures across the forest to discover. Cyclists can try the North Face single track mountain bike trail as well as the many forest roads.
The Cafe in the Forest serves tasty snacks and meals, with take-away option too.
The GoApe high wire course is a unique aerial adventure.

The Forestry Commission offers an extensive guided activity programme ranging from badger watching to children's activities plus education programmes.
