Magical Woodland Review: A magical outdoor experience in Cheshire
‘Magical Woodland? What’s that?’ asked virtually everyone when I told them we were going to Magical Woodland in Cheshire.
View this post on Instagram‘Well…it’s…you know….a magical woodland! With lights and music and…magical things…’ I tailed off because I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect either. But wow, oh wow.
Magical Woodland is, without a doubt, the most magical, family-friendly experience we’ve been to in the Cheshire area. Admittedly, we haven’t been getting out much recently and we’re getting very excited about the possibility of any kind of family night out – but it really was magic!
Magical Woodland is set in the woods at Blakemere Village, very close to Delamere Forest. The forest is decorated with lights and music, entertainers, performances, light shows and theatrics. Guests follow a trail through the trees and they’re met with countless mini light shows along the way.
It felt like lots of mini stations with lights and music, so you walk for a little bit and then come to the next attraction, each with its own theme and music.
I was so surprised by how big Magical Woodland was and how each attraction was a bit bigger and a bit better than the last. Joseph, our very excited three year old, wanted to rush through the whole thing to see the next little show, and even when running at the pace of a three year old, it took us over an hour to see everything.
The Cheshire Cat's playful nature adds to the sense of adventure and intrigue in the magical woodland. As you venture deeper into the woods, you may stumble upon the mystical faeries. These tiny beings are guardians of the forest, ensuring its harmony and balance.
Grub in the wood
Towards the end of the trail you come to ‘Grub in the Wood’ where there are a few wooden cabins selling drinks and marshmallows, there’s a pizza and prosecco van and another food truck. Best of all, there are little fires dotted around the clearing where you can toast marshmallows and warm chilly hands.

They are known to grant wishes to those who show kindness and respect towards nature. Their delicate presence fills the woodland with an ethereal beauty. Wandering through the ancient trees, you may come across the wise and noble creatures known as the Ents. These tree-like beings possess vast knowledge and are revered as the guardians of the forest. They have an innate connection with the woodland, and their deep rumbling voices echo through the trees, telling tales of old and offering guidance to those who seek it. The woodland is also home to a myriad of magical plants and flowers. The vibrant colors and captivating scents transport visitors into a world of sensory delights. It is said that these plants possess healing properties, and those who encounter them may find themselves feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. The magical woodland of Cheshire is not only a haven for mythical creatures and enchanting flora but also a place for humans to reconnect with nature. Visitors can embark on long walks, immersing themselves in the tranquility of the surroundings. The dense foliage provides shelter from the bustling modern world, allowing for moments of peaceful reflection and a respite from everyday worries. In this magical realm, time seems to stand still, and the worries of the outside world fade away. It is a place where imagination flourishes, and dreams take shape. The woodland of Cheshire is truly a hidden gem, beckoning all who seek a touch of magic in their lives..
Reviews for "Escape the Everyday: Cheshire's Mystical Woodland Retreats"
1. John - 2 stars
I was disappointed with the Magical Woodland Cheshire experience. The advertising made it seem like a whimsical adventure, but it fell short of my expectations. The activities offered were limited and didn't provide much entertainment value. Additionally, the staff seemed disinterested and unenthusiastic, which further dampened the overall experience. I wouldn't recommend this attraction for families looking for a fun-filled day out.
2. Emily - 1 star
Magical Woodland Cheshire was a complete letdown. The so-called magical creatures were nothing more than poorly designed puppets, and the performances were lackluster. There was also a lack of interactive elements, which left my children bored and unengaged. The ticket prices were exorbitant considering the lack of quality and entertainment value. Save your money and find something better to do in Cheshire.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
I had high hopes for Magical Woodland Cheshire, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The supposed magical atmosphere was ruined by the overcrowded and noisy environment. It was difficult to enjoy the supposed tranquility of the woodland with so many people jostling for space. Additionally, the food options were limited and overpriced. For a more peaceful and enjoyable experience, I would recommend exploring other nature parks or gardens in the area.
