Playing our part in Delamere Forest's future
A sustainable way of life
Our brand new location at Delamere Forest in Cheshire is open. This is a very exciting project and our introduction of cabins and trails forms part of a much wider redevelopment of visitor facilities by Forestry England.
A new way to enjoy Delamere Forest
The multimillion pound Delamere Forest plan has created a new visitor hub and gateway to the forest. Key features of the wider plan include:
- A new visitor welcome area with a larger cafe
- Improved toilet facilities
- Significant landscaping improvements
- New and improved trails and bridleways
- A multi-use health and well-being trailÂ
- A new visitor hub car park and improved overflow parking
- 66 eco-sensitive Forest Holidays cabins in the north western part of the forest

Investing in Delamere Forest
There have been calls for investment in Delamere Forest for over a decade and now through our partnership with Forestry England, the sustainable vision will help ease pressures and benefit all visitors, creating new experiences for people wishing to enjoy a peaceful getaway.

Creating new experiences with our partners at Forestry England
Introducing our build team's approach
Our cabins at Delamere Forest will be situated in the north western part of the forest and this location area is just 3% of the forest. During the project, we spoke to our Programme Manager, John Allen. He explains how we are sensitively integrating our location into the forest environment at Delamere.
How do you feel about Forest Holidays having a location in Delamere Forest?
It’s a privilege for us to bring Forest Holidays to Delamere Forest. This is a flagship visitor location for Forestry England, enjoyed by many and we’ve worked hard over the years to support their vision of improving the visitor facilities for all. We are committed to delivering this project in close collaboration with our partners and are proud that this investment enables facilities across the whole forest to be managed sustainably. We’re meeting with local businesses and our neighbours to ensure we play our part in creating new opportunities through the creation of jobs and long lasting partnerships. The plans for our location will see an enhancement of the woodland environment and a stay with us at Delamere Forest will inspire even more people to value Britain’s amazing forests.

Our cabins are designed to sit harmoniously within the forest, preserving the surroundings. We follow strict management practices that promote sustainability and respect the environment.
Together with our Forestry England partners we’ve answered some of the common questions we have been asked about the project so far and will continue to update and add to the questions as the project progresses.
