Blengdale Forest

If you're looking for a beautiful bit of scenery to get you back into nature, then Blengdale can help. From a stroll to a bike ride, Blengdale presents views of Wasdale, Haycock and the West Cumbrian Coast. For a way to break up the day, take a stop in Gosforth and enjoy the infamous Gosforth Bakery Pies.
