this a really big forest with lots of different trails and walks something for every one, my 2 border collies love it there. there are 4 different car parks that I know of but you must remember that it is a forest and be prepared for some dirt and mud in places, the only thing that spoils it for me is when people leave litter or dog poo bags for someone else to clear up, I love the piece and tranquility of the trails that are off the main areas, there is also a lot of work being done near Whitegate car park, so some of the tracks and trails are closed, they are doing lots of work reestablishing the peat bogs, and getting ready to reestablish Beavers to the area

We visited Macclesfield Forest for the first time in April and couldn’t believe how beautiful the area is. There is ‘pay and display’ parking at the Trentabank visitor centre along with some disabled parking spaces and there is another small car park at Standing Stone. There are also a small number of parking areas/bays along various surrounding roads. There are toilets at the visitor centre, a café and there are plenty of picnic tables on the site. However, the café only opens up at certain times of the year. We parked on the road near the visitor centre so it didn’t cost us anything. It’s obvious that these spaces will soon get taken up during weekends and school holidays. There are a number of different walks you can do from the visitor centre which are all way marked. Yellow route (1km), Green route (1km), Brown route (2km), Blue route (5km) and Red route (9km). We did the majority of the Red route but then cut back along Trentabank Road. The paths are all quite good but were a bit steep in parts. Horse riding and cycling are allowed in the park but they are restricted to certain routes. The views of the forest and Peak District are amazing and there is plenty of wildlife on the reservoirs. The only negative point I can make about the area is the amount of ‘dog poo’ bags stuffed into a stone wall close to the Standing Stone car park. It was disgusting and there’s just no excuse for it! Apart from that, we had a really good day, took loads of pictures and enjoyed the views and walk!

A great place to walk, cycle and much more! In the heart of the National Forest, Hicks Lodge is a former coal mining site that has been totally transformed by new plantings and exciting trails for you to enjoy. A great day out for the budding cyclist, from tearaway toddlers to young teens perfecting their skills, we’ve got a range of trails for beginner to intermediate appetites. Visit our lakeside bird hide where you can soak in the beautiful scenery and spot some unique wildlife, such as the migratory sand martins. There are also walking and horse riding paths to explore the forest, a play area and a café!

This is a woodland walk around the lake. It starts at the entrance on Raddel Lane in Higher Whitley and does a full loop of the lake returning you to the entrance. It is about 1 mile in length with well kept paths and is suitable for walkers but not wheelchairs or pushchairs. The lake is beautiful with abundant bird and wildlife. The highlight for me was the vibrant green at one part of the lake and the sunlight shimmering in the water. I also saw blue dragonflies.
