Dalby Forest is located on the southern slopes of the North York Moors National Park and they boast a newly opened Visitor Centre, constructed in natural materials and designed to be as sustainable as possible. It is situated just past the village of Low Dalby and incorporates a shop/information point, exhibition area, toilets, Education Room and a restaurant, which will be open in May 2007.
The centre is the focus of a £4.3m regeneration project for the area which also includes art and craft workshops, bike hire and 55 km of bike trails. An interesting trail is the
Moor to Sea cycle trail. This is an 80 mile trail, linking Pickering, Whitby and Scarborough using forest roads, bridleways and quiet roads.
There are also some nice waymarked walks in Dalby Forest offering great views of the outstanding landscape.
