About
Guisborough Forest sits between Teesside and the North York Moors, with walking trails, a steady cycle trail along the old railway line, carved sculptures and play and picnic areas. Little ones can try pond dipping near the visitor centre, which is run by Redcar and Cleveland Council and has a cafe. The visitor centre was closed for renovation from November 2025, so check it has reopened before you rely on it.
