Grizedale Forest Park

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A Lake District 'must do', this popular woodland park occupies much of the land between the lakes of Coniston and Windermere.The land was at one time part of the extensive estates owned by Furness Abbey to the south. The land passed to Grizedale Hall, and was finally purchased in 1936 by the Forestry Commission. The forest park offers waymarked walks for all abilities, with the forest liberally sprinkled with woodland sculptures to add interest to the walks. more details ...
