We booked Aqua Chimp and it was fabulous. Really easy getting wetsuit and life jacket etc, changing rooms were nice and clean and plenty of lockers. The 2 instructors who gave us our safety briefing were informative and helpful on the equipment. Was really fun and some of it is harder than it looks! We had a really good afternoon! Thank you

this a really big forest with lots of different trails and walks something for every one, my 2 border collies love it there. there are 4 different car parks that I know of but you must remember that it is a forest and be prepared for some dirt and mud in places, the only thing that spoils it for me is when people leave litter or dog poo bags for someone else to clear up, I love the piece and tranquility of the trails that are off the main areas, there is also a lot of work being done near Whitegate car park, so some of the tracks and trails are closed, they are doing lots of work reestablishing the peat bogs, and getting ready to reestablish Beavers to the area

The Rowlinson family have lived at Abbeywood since 1987, during which time they have made many improvements and additions to the gardens. The year starts in February with many varieties of Galanthus in Jane's Garden, followed by other Spring favourites, Erythroniums and Trilliums, to name but a few of her rare plants. The Main Garden is divided into separate areas. The formal layout gives way to naturalistic planting within. Early May starts with Tulips followed by Alliums and Camassia. Seasonal interest continues until around mid September - weather depending. The Christopher Lloyd inspired Exotic Garden, designed around the remnants of the old vegetable garden, is filled with Dahlias, Cannas, Banana and other tender perennials. These continue until the first frosts. The Young Arboretum is planted with rare evergreen and deciduous trees for year round interest. A 2km, wildlife walk incorporates the existing and new woodland on the 45 acre grounds.

So much to see here. I loved the prairie planting, in the wind today it sounded wonderful. The tropical garden is spectacular as well. There are numerous walks and a nice tea room. There are also unusual plants for sale. Well worth a visit.

If you're looking for something different to do with friends or family, look no further. This course has speedy zip wires and daring crossings, not to mention the stomach-churning free-fall Tarzan swings. And the adventure does not need to stop there. You can get off the beaten track and enjoy our latest forest adventure with Go Ape Forest Segway - an epic experience with a down to earth twist. And Delamere Forest is also home to our Tree Top Junior Adventure for Mini Tarzans. Release your little monkeys onto a Go Ape course designed for them. No one loves adventure more than kids!

A great place to walk, cycle and much more! In the heart of the National Forest, Hicks Lodge is a former coal mining site that has been totally transformed by new plantings and exciting trails for you to enjoy. A great day out for the budding cyclist, from tearaway toddlers to young teens perfecting their skills, we’ve got a range of trails for beginner to intermediate appetites. Visit our lakeside bird hide where you can soak in the beautiful scenery and spot some unique wildlife, such as the migratory sand martins. There are also walking and horse riding paths to explore the forest, a play area and a café!
