Delamere station, with its superb station café, is situated in Delamere Forest, Cheshire's largest woodland. Both a place for families to let off steam and a place to escape the crowds, the forest offers a variety of outdoor pursuits. Go Ape, the ‘High Wire Forest Adventure’ is located lass than five minutes walk from the station.

There is a visitor centre, exhibitions, events and wildlife displays. The 30-mile ‘Sandstone Trail’ walk cuts through Delamere Forest, once a royal hunting ground in Norman times; it is now a haven for wildlife. Delamere is managed and sustained by The Forestry Commission.
