How To Find Dalby Forest
To get to Dalby Forest, the best route is via Thornton le Dale. Travel to Thornton le Dale and follow signs from there.
PLEASE DO NOT ENTER DALBY FOREST INTO YOUR SAT-NAV!
Depending on your journeys starting location, sat-nav may guide you down closed off forestry roads. If using sat-nav, we recommend entering Thornton le Dale as your destination and follow signs to Dalby Forest from there. This will bring you to the main entrance to Dalby Forest.
Please drive cautiously as the roads to and within the forest are free from street lighting, and there may be wildlife such as pheasant and deer on and around the roads.
Upon entering the forest through the entrance barrier, follow the road until you reach the visitor centre car park. There are some large speed bumps to look out for when driving to the car park. The entrance to the car park is a left hand turn next to the visitor centre building.
