One of my favourite places in the world . I may have seen a few things in my time , spectacular buildings, coral reef and such but the lakes of England have a unique light and feel. I would happily spend my days here.

Great day out in the Ebikes. Nice trails for everyone to enjoy. The hire bikes some of our group had were well maintained and the staff were lovely. Happy to help and nothing was no problem 😁

Nice visitor centre with clean toilets to hand and a very nice cafe. The cafe had a small selection of cakes as well as plenty of sandwiches, snacks other food on offer. There are great views from the cafe seating area too.
There are plenty of trails to follow around the forest with trail maps around the car parks and visitor centre.
We visited in late May and had wonderful smells of the wild garlic as we walked through the trails.

Grizedale Forest and it's visitors centre are definitely with visit. The centre hasa fantastic children's play area and lovely cafe. There are 3 units with independent, talented artists making and selling a range of prints, paintings, baskets and pottery. The forest itself is beautiful with a myriad of walking trails, mountain bike trails and some amazing sculptures. There are mountain bikes to hire at Grizedale the fantastic Go Ape if you're not scared of heights! A fantastic day out.

Lovely place to visit for all ages and abilities. Beautiful forest with loads of different levels of walks, cycle paths and Go Ape is above part of your forest walk. The facilities here are really good and clean. After a lovely walk through the forest, watching children and adults having fun high in the tree, enjoying the sunshine we returned to the main area and enjoyed an ice cream milk shake. We sat outside in the sunshine, enjoying the sound of others enjoying their time outdoors and with nature. Highly recommend a visit to Grizedale Forest while visiting the Lake District.

Awesome forest will pack your day full of adventures of all sorts. Zip wire through the trees, tear the tracks up by mountain bike, explore by Segway or just enjoy the stream. Something for everyone.

Went on a wet drizzly day. Loved it. Did the long walking trail, tough in places but we'll worth it.so was able to see from all aspects, great views to be had.
Darren Metters
Vast forest area with lots to occupy walkers, mountain bikers and families with the numerous trails

I highly recommended this place despite the long driveway from Manchester, Liverpool etc.
Shame there is no wi-fi across visitor centre, particularly on cafe.
Floor in the gents toilets need to be replaced also.

Fantastic mtb riding. Hired ebikes. Bloody brilliant.

Tramper was already hired out so decided to take my own mobility scooter around. Wasted a couple of miles of battery power following the wrong trail but went to visitors centre to look at map then headed out on the tramper trail. My scooter managed but used quite a bit of battery life by the time I got around. Could I make a suggestion that where you have the posts with the black plate and white arrows on that you put how far around you actually travelled or have left to travel as we had no idea where we were . Had a look on the site on Google but it seamed to be the wrong way around. We thoroughly enjoyed it so did the dog.

Visited Grizedale forest just after the bank holiday. We did GoApe in the morning and hired mountain bikes in the afternoon. The setting for the visitors centre is beautiful. The facilities are clean and smart. The staff were friendly and polite. Their fresh ice cream was lovely. Unfortunately, we didn't use many other options and did not eat inside (it was sunny and there is plenty of seating outside). The parking is an automated number plate- pay as you leave option (£8 for a full day). Beware the main roads to get to Grizedale can be very tight so leave adequate traveling time if you have anything booked.

Llvley visitors centre with plejty of information available about the local area and the different trails you can follow through the forest.
Theres a brilliant adventure playground for the kids with ple ty of benches and picnic tables to sit at. A cafe and shop, toilets and a mou tian bike rental place. The Go Ape centre is also here.
Definitely worth a visit if your in the area and have a few hours to kill

Staff very helpful, beautiful views and walks.
£8 for parking all day is to much! £5 is a fair price.
