About Whinlatter Forest Park
Welcome to Whinlatter Forest Park, England's only true Mountain Forest. Rising to 790 metres above sea level Whinlatter Forest Park offers spectacular views of the Lake District and into Scotland.
The Altura Trail puts altitude into Mountain Biking by offering stunning views and a great single track trail which rises to 500m (1600ft) above Keswick and the northern lakes.

Why not have a go on our Go Ape! course. It's a award winning high wire forest adventure course of extreme rope bridges, tarzan swings and zip slides. Go Ape! and trek from tree to tree in the forest canopy. Over an hour 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.
