Whinlatter Forest & Visitor Centre Car Park
About
Sign up for a Forestry England membership for Grizedale and/or Whinlatter forests and enjoy free car parking all year plus a range of other great discounts for you and your family.
Whinlatter is England's only true mountain forest. Rising 1000ft above sea level, the forest and visitor centre provides a whole range of outdoor activities for everyone.
The forest also offers excellent mountain biking, with the red-graded Altura trail, blue graded Quercus trail and the Gorse trail on forest fire roads.
If you've never tried orienteering, Whinlatter’s permanent orienteering courses are the perfect place to start, and runners can enjoy waymarked 5km and 10km routes through the trees.
