Daily life can be stressful and it’s difficult to factor in some time for yourself when you’re balancing everything from work matters to spending time with your family and friends.

It’s more important than ever to take some time out and reconnect with nature. To encourage people to reset their minds, Leisure Lakes Bikes has listed the best woodland spots in the UK to visit for a mental wellbeing boost.

Walking along quiet trails between the trees can leave you feel calm and relaxed. Having a change of scenery is also an excellent way to de-stress and help you to forget about your worries, even for a short while.

Among them is Delamere Forest in Cheshire, just a stone’s throw away from Greater Manchester. This woodland offers a tranquil “haven” with sprawling woodland “laced with trails suitable for all levels, whether you’re on two feet or two wheels.” According to locals, the forest gives off an earthy smell after rain which feels "deeply grounding” and can help you focus on the present.
