Depends what kind of activity you're looking for..........there aren't too many forests in the NW especially hard woods.
Down toward Woodhead or the Snake passes in the south - Bowland in the north.
Saddleworth - not forest but some nice views even with the white stuff about.
Plenty of urban landscape.........as I say depends what you are looking for

Nice place I went to last summer lovely place, plenty of wooded area and a sort of stream/river. Not sure if it comes under the North west region though. Posted Link

Delamere Forest. Always forestry going on there, loads of birdies, waterlogged forest, dead forest areas, ropeworks, (the kind you slide/climb/fall off) and best of all there's a cafe!
Sounds interesting there

They do! and lovely ice cream.
It is interesting, some good walks, well signed, water, cycling (you can hire them too) a hill to climb if you want. Don't park in the main car park if you dislike being charged, the ones on the permter, parimeter?, outer fringes are free.
I can recommend Delamere Forest too - well worth visiting.
You may also like to try Northwich Woodlands & Marbury Park. Not a forest as such, more woodlands than anything but plenty of footpaths for walking. There are several bird hides scattered about as well and there are various organised activities throughout the year, but the only cafe around is a mobile one which operates in Marbury Park (I think only at weekends now).
