Whinlatter Forest Park
 

Osprey Sculpture at Whinlatter Visitor CentreWelcome to Whinlatter Forest Park, Englands only true Mountain Forest. Rising to 790 metres above sea level Whinlatter Forest Park offers spectacular views of the Lake District and into Scotland.

Why not have a go on our Go Ape course.  Its a award winning high wire forest adventure course of extreme rope bridges, tarzan swings and zip slides.

Two plus hours of adrenalin-fuelled fun, laughter and adventure at heights of up to 40 feet above the forest floor, all located within the beautiful surroundings of Whinlatter Forest Park. Go on, swing by and catch some tree time.

From April to August annually watch the Bassenthwaite Ospreys through our live nest camera or visit the Lake District Osprey Project and see the ospreys from the outdoor viewpoint or visit the exhibition and live video camera  at Whinlatter
