Excellent to go for a or picnic. Nice views, paths to walk, scooter and bike friendly! Also for prams! With facilities, park, big car parks, bike routes, lovely on a sunny days! for children's too with The Stick Man trial and Gruffalo one!! A mi lace to come back! You also just pay the time, but there is not a entrance fee. brand new visitor with toilets and coffee shop. Lots of space and helpful staff. However the is so expensive. I believe we paid £10 for 3h. It's outrageous. I was told it's because we need to pay off the investment but for how long? itself is a beautiful place to visit. They also have go ape and other attractions. outdoor day out. Bike park and blue rated mtb trails. Lots of walks from a mile to 7 iirc. facilities including parking, toilets, and seating areas. There is plenty of for all. You pay for before leaving. It's on camera. As you start to type, the license plate number (in the photo) pops up on screen for you to confirm before it charges you for the time you have parked there. We paid £11 for 4 and a half hours. All the money goes into the forestry upkeep, and you don't pay for entry. There are a few different trails. A place to hire bikes and tramper for hire, I would prebook the tramper in advance, though, as they tend to be popular! We've used them before, and for those with mobility issues, these are brilliant to enjoy the on. You can buy a map that you can either download to your mobile or have it in paper format, it cost £2 from the information centre. There are maps up around the and markers to follow for the different walks/ tracks. There's a go-ape. A children's gruffalo trail with large animal carvings whilst we were there. Large with reasonably priced drinks and food, plenty of seating indoors, and outside. I noticed there were also things sold for dogs in the as well, and your four-legged companion was welcome inside. To the rear of the building, there is a quick order window if you just want to grab a takeaway drink or food! Toilets were being cleaned when I went in. changing room. Separate disabled toilet. For those in manual wheelchairs, if you have standard wheels, some of the starter track may be a bit challenging on the sloped areas, especially when it's been raining... it may be easier going past the go-ape cabin area towards the lake as it's more flat and firmer under foot! The wheelchair we have we interchange the wheels for ones that are for outdoor terrain and are liken to mountain bike wheels, tread, and grip for and woodland walks! Lady on reception in visitor had a really bad attitude and wasn’t interested in constructive ideas about improving the signage around the and only interested in pushing the £2 paper maps. Amazing site, obviously value and tonnes to see and do if you enjoy easy going outdoor stuff. Kids love it, mega for bikes, walking, dogs your usual walking based outdoor stuff. area is always clean even with how busy it's gets. Plenty of which is decently priced considering this effectively your fee to visit, train stations basically on site anyway too. Food available seems ok priced, just a lot of people for a small set up in comparison place for running, biking, mtb, orienteering. Lots of trails. Plenty of beautiful lakes and ponds too. Seems to be very popular with families with young kids. Visit is too. Reasonable prices. Downside is the shocking price for parking. Cost me £12 for 3 hrs. That's like London prices. Next time I'll park on a side road in the forest, which many other people already do. First visit yesterday, £7 for 2 hours, restaurant size food looked good. Lots of toilets nice and clean. Plenty of outside picnic areas too. Lovely walk. Would like to come back uninjured and explore more. Staff were helpful in suggesting too. day out for all the family. The are fun for small children who love the Julia Donaldson books. has choices but a little pricey. Car is easy but again a little pricey. We spent over 2hrs exploring the and could of easily spent all day here. Plenty of in the visitors centre, which is paid that goes back into the reserve. It is a spacious carpark with a nice on and easy access to the trails, especially the ones for kids. Lots of different routes to take, we went in the afternoon through the week and it was nice a quiet. Lots to do there like Go Ape, biking, a park. Lovely dog 🐾 facilities/cafe/ice cream. was steep at just over £10 for 2+ hours (free for members albeit) but definitely worth it for the stickman trail and scenery Delamere Visitor is an absolute gem.
