Delamere Forest

About this park

Delamere Forest, nestled in the heart of Cheshire, offers a superb natural escape for dogs and their owners. As the largest woodland in the county, it provides an expansive and varied landscape perfect for exploration, from serene wooded paths to open, airy spaces. It’s an ideal spot for dogs to enjoy invigorating walks, sniff out new adventures, and simply revel in the great outdoors alongside their human companions. The forest's rich environment ensures every visit is a stimulating experience for energetic pups and older, more sedate dogs alike. Dogs are warmly welcomed throughout Delamere Forest, offering a multitude of routes and trails to suit every preference. The well-maintained paths wind through diverse forestry, presenting opportunities for both shaded strolls under the canopy and invigorating treks across more open terrain. With miles of trails, there’s ample space for dogs to stretch their legs and enjoy new scents, making it a fantastic location for regular exercise or a special day out. The changing seasons bring new sights and smells, keeping the forest perpetually interesting for canine explorers. While four-legged friends are encouraged to enjoy the vastness of Delamere Forest, responsible ownership is key to preserving its beauty for all visitors. Owners are asked to keep dogs under control, and adhere to any requests for leads, especially near wildlife or other visitors. The forest’s natural setting and varied topography make it a versatile destination, perfect for anything from a brisk morning walk to a leisurely afternoon adventure with your beloved canine companion, ensuring peace and enjoyment for everyone. Delamere Forest boasts a range of convenient facilities to enhance your visit. There are well-maintained toilets, accessible toilets, and baby changing facilities. A café and visitor centre are on-site for refreshments and information, alongside picnic areas for a relaxed stop. Ample parking is available across three car parks, including accessible spaces.
