North Riding Forest Park
Forested area with hiking & cycling trails of varied levels, plus play areas & a visitors center. With so many different corners to explore, no two visits to Dalby Forest will ever be the same! Glacial valleys to the south create a unique ‘rigg and dale’ landscape, while the north of the forest sits on an upland plateau. The landscape offers a variety of different trails – whether you are looking for a gentle stroll, challenging bike ride or active run – all amid breath taking scenery. Dalby Forest is home to an abundance of internationally important wildlife species and is also a designated Dark Sky Discovery Site, where you can experience the magic of seeing the Milky Way with the naked eye. Come rain or shine, day or night, you will have a fantastic forest adventure and create lasting memories at any time of the year.
Exciting adventure play equipment for children to enjoy. The large open field is the ideal place to have a BBQ or play ball games. Pack the bag with a football or frisbee and enjoy the space to have fun and games. From here you can easily access the Gruffalo Orienteering trail and the Enchanted Wood. Extend your woodland adventure with an unforgettable nights stay in the forest. At Dalby Forest, there are two campsites available for use by Scouts, Guides and other organised youth groups. They are not public campsites. Whether you’ve just bought your first bike, or you’re happy shredding through rock gardens, Dalby Forest offers a fantastic opportunity for natural cycling. Exploring this stunning forest on two wheels will leave you grinning from ear to ear.
