Whinlatter cafe on a winter's evening

Welcome to Whinlatter , 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 or 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. Or just visit for a quiet walk and a meal in our cafe.
