Grizedale Forest in the Lake District offers forest trails for walking, cycling and horse riding, with sculptures dotted throughout.

The forest has easy access trails, play areas, and picnic facilities. A self-catering log cabin and nearby family-run campsite offer overnight stays, though overnight stays are not permitted within the forest itself.
