Forestry England are delighted to announce that Whinlatter Forest near Keswick has been awarded a VisitEngland Gold Accolade for the second year running, and third time in five years.
These prestigious awards are based on the results of VisitEngland’s Visitor Attraction Quality Scheme assessments, reflecting the attractions’ commitment to providing an exceptional visitor experience and the incredibly high standards they achieve.
The team from Whinlatter Forest attended the awards ceremony in Warwickshire (12th November 2025), where they were presented with their award certificate alongside other winners from across the country.
Mark Holroyd, Head of Recreation and Communications for Forestry England’s North District said:
“This prestigious national award celebrates the Whinlatter recreation team’s unwavering dedication over many years to delivering consistently exceptional experiences and facilities for all our visitors. Such recognition is a fantastic achievement, but to do so for a second year running, as well as previously in 2021, really highlights the passion they have for truly outstanding customer service.”
