Hamsterley Forest is a commercial forest in County Durham operated by the Forestry Commission. It is the largest forest in County Durham and covers more than 2000 hectres. Recreational activities are promoted within the forest and are focussed at the eastern end around the visitors centre. In addition to the visitors centre there is an adjacent cafe, an education room, toilet facilities and an independent bike shop called Wood'n'Wheels (www.ohire.co.uk/companies/wood-n-wheels) that also hires out bikes.

Hamsterley is also the home of the 'Hamsterley Trailblazers' who help to maintain and create cycle routes within the forest as well as running regular bike rides and events. See: www.hamsterley-trailblazers.co.uk/
