Grizedale Forest

Tucked between Lake Windermere and Coniston Water, Grizedale Forest offers a range of options to enjoy the fresh air and the outstanding views across the fells.

The forest information centre is a good place to start your visit: you can pick up a walking or biking trail map and get help planning your family adventure! There are waymarked walking trails of varying lengths for all abilities which take you to all the best bits of the forest, from the all access Ridding Wood trail up to the Silurian Way which takes you on a grand tour of Grizedale: for big legs only! The bike trails are perfect for safe off-road family biking.
