Delph Waterfall And Nature Trail

📍 Skelmersdale, North West

★3.3(124 Google reviews)

A compact wooded nature trail with a stream and small waterfall near Skelmersdale, offering tree climbing, stream splashing, and natural exploration for young children. Fly-tipping and litter are persistent problems throughout the site.

★★★Featured review by Cee Mellor

All the hard work the locals put in has been beaten! Lovely little place to chill and explore with little ones! Especially if it's on your door step, but not worth a special visit if your not local.. Nice stream for the youngsters to splash in..

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Families living within walking distance will find the stream and woodland useful for a quick outdoor nature play session — tree climbing and stream splashing work for young children with the surroundings.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡Wear wellington boots or shoes you do not mind getting wet — the stream is the main attraction
⏰This is a walk-in outdoor site with no facilities, parking, or cafe — come prepared
đŸŽŸī¸Pack a bag for your own litter and leave the area as you found it
🚗The wooded section is best explored on a dry day when the ground is firmer

“Shame about the large amount of litter. It is a small but lovely wooded area with a stream which should be great for local kids exploring, climbing and swinging from the trees. Not worth travelling to as quite small.”

“One little waterfall. Nothing else really even the birds were scarce. Just avoid the shopping trollies and mounds of litter.”

“Went today with the grandchildren after seeing (outdated) pics and reviews. Local tip. Shopping trollies, traffic cones, dumped sofas, mattresses, bags of rubbish, toys, cans everywhere. Absolute dump, some locals even appear to simply empty their bins over their fences. Photos taken 16th March 2025”

Overview

Delph Waterfall and Nature Trail is a small wooded area with a stream running through it and one modest waterfall drop. Children can climb trees, splash in the stream, and explore the woods on foot. The site is compact — reviewers consistently describe it as not worth a special journey from outside the immediate local area. Litter, dumped furniture, shopping trolleys, and fly-tipped rubbish are spread throughout the site and have been reported across multiple years of reviews without resolution.
