Grizedale Visitor Centre from Moor Top

The walk to the Grizedale Visitor Centre from Moor Top is a fun adventure with plenty of access to other outdoor activities that the entire family is sure to love; however, there are a few things to consider before setting out for your journey. This route passes through some forest terrain that features uneven paths, which might not be the greatest for very young children or families with strollers. Additionally, there are many intersecting pathways that can make navigation confusing. Make sure to bring a GPS or a good trail map to navigate the trail.

Setting out from the car park, follow the road to the southwest before picking up the trail on the left to enter into the dense cover of the forest. Take some time to appreciate the peaceful atmosphere of the woodland setting before arriving at the Grizedale Visitor Centre. Here, you can stop in at the cafe for some refreshments, rent bikes to explore the area, or explore the canopy of the trees on the Go Ape course. After having fun with these activities, continue west to climb uphill through Grizedale Forest, following the trail as it turns north through the strong network of woodland trails to arrive back at the car park where you began.
