Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

We primarily went for the Go Ape but there is a lot to do in terms of walking and biking as well as playground areas for the kids. The cafe is great with a broad menu. Would come back.

I stayed for less than four hours - the parking cost £9.20!
Aside from the parking, we chose to park here to do two of the Wainwrights - Lord's Seat and Barf; there is absolutely no indication anywhere at the Whinlatter Forest Park Information Centre that there is anything in the area other than those features managed by the Centre.
The key point from a walker's point of view is that the signage is absolutely awful, this is true even for features within the forest area. We asked about this at the Information Centre and the disappointing response was one of almost total indifference.
Incidentally, over the decades I have walked extensively in England, Scotland, Wales, Spain, France, Italy, the USA and Canada; I have the relevant OS Map (OL4), and a compass and know how to use them, they don't help half as much as you would like to think in a forest.

Hi Frank, thank you for taking the time to review your visit. I'm sorry to hear you feel our parking charges at Whinlatter are excessive, as an organisation we are mostly self-funded and the income we collect from car parking is reinvested into the woodlands Forestry England care for. With your help, we are able to grow more forests, create more habitats for wildlife and extend their visitor offer to improve people’s well being.
Our pay on exit car park system allows people to pay only for the time they are onsite, and we believe charges are fair and in line with other sites within the Lake District. We do not charge an entry fee for the forest and Whinlatter is also accessible by bus during the summer months for those wishing to leave the car at home. If you visit our forests regularly you may benefit from an annual national membership which includes free parking at Forestry England sites across the country.
I hope you enjoyed your walk to Lord's Seat and Barf, whilst many people choose to start their walks to these peaks from our visitor centre they're actually outside our forest boundary and not included in our extensive network of waymarked trails. Our walking map (available in print form, as a digital download and on a board outside the visitor centre) does feature both summits and provides information on how to access them from the visitor centre.
Our friendly visitor team are happy to help everyone plan their visit and I will raise your comments to the team to help provide the best possible service for future visitors.

There are some fantastic walking and biking trails here, which offer some very amazing landscape views of the Lake District.

Thanks for your review, great to hear you enjoyed your visit! If you haven't already be sure to check out our Wow viewpoint next time you're in the forest, the views are amazing!

We decided to do the Wow walk and weren’t disappointed with our decision. Even though it was quite a miserable Monday there were plenty of people taking advantage of the beautiful landscape and scenery. Lots of keen mountain bikers and surprisingly, young gruffalo participants(different school holidays?) Anyway us OAPs who are always on holiday had a thoroughly enjoyable day finishing off with a lovely meal in the well equipped cafe.

Lovely forest to explore. We went to one of the summits. Amazing view and well worth the hike. Saw a few parks around the visitor center for the kids to play.

This is my favourite place to walk. It’s so clean and calm - the views are incredible! Each time I’ve been, it’s been really quiet and peaceful. I haven’t done all of the trails, but I have done the Wow Trail and Seat How Summit and loved them both. The car park is big and I haven’t struggled for parking - it’s also very cheap (£8 for the day) and the toilets are free and open late. There is also a cafe and visitor centre which is nice for a cold drink afterwards.
So much fun - I’d go back again!

Breathtaking natural beauty and different things to do for adults (e.g., running or cycling) and kids (e.g., the gruffalo trail and the treetop adventure)! There is also a nice café and souvenirs/local products.

Stopped here as part of a circular drive round. Very well thought out. I have no idea idea how big it is or how much there is to do. With a 5k 10k and half marathon trail and various cycle options it is pretty big. We stuck with "children's" gruffalo trail and was plenty happy with that. Nice to get back to nature. Had a robin come right up to us, which was nice.

Large carpark near the cafe and cafe. Cost depends on how long you stay. Pay on exit- number plate recognition cameras.
Skrevet 17. april 2023
Hi Charles - you can pay for parking with either cash or card. The car park at Whinlatter is pay on exit with machines available in the car park as well as payment taken at the visitor centre.
You can also pay for parking up to 48 hours after your visit online through the Park With Ease website.
I hope this helps.
Skrevet 24. august 2022
Hi we visited yesterday and forgot to pay parking on way out!! When I googled it it seems I can pay a company called park with ease. Does anyone know if this is correct? Thanks
Skrevet 27. august 2021
Hi - that's correct, visitors to Whinlatter can pay for parking either on exit or up to 48 hours afterwards online at on the park with ease website. TripAdvisor doesn't allow links to be shared in answers but if you Google Park With Ease it should appear.

About 10 to 15 minutes away. There are traffic lights set up on Penrith Road near Millfeild retirement home at the moment which causes some delays but hopefully they won't be there for much longer.

We're looking to take 3 young children on the trail and going by the reviews the trail doesn't last long, is there anything to do afterwards or somewhere we can go nearby?? We are doing days out instead of holidays this year so don't want to go just for an hour and a half.
Skrevet 1. august 2017
SuJayne is right, there is quite a large playground if the weather is good. The visitors center is quite good but won't keep young children entertained for long. The Gruffalo trail through the woods is as long or short as you want to make it - you can get a guide in the Information Center. You can also hire bikes. It isn't a massive distance from Keswick, so perhaps you could do Whinlater in the morning and have a more gentle afternoon in Keswick or messing about on Derwent Water.
Skrevet 1. august 2017
Hi
You pay just before you leave and they take card or notes.
It's about £3 for two hours.
Skrevet 24. juli 2017
We'll be staying in Keswick and are looking for challenging walks in the area; as we're from the US we'll not have a car, not wanting to try L side driving. Will it be difficult to find a bus or other transportation to the forest?
Skrevet 29. april 2017
Sorry I have only just seen your question. I am unsure if there is a bus up there but you could get a taxi and it is well worth it.

Do I have to have my dog on her lead on the walks
Skrevet 29. mars 2017
As far as i am aware, dogs can be off lead as long as kept under control. The forest, and vsitors center is very dog friendly..
