Nostalgic for Richard Hammond’s Total Wipeout? You can now tackle a similar challenge right on your doorstep. While Delamere Forest is already famous for its stunning walks and natural beauty just a short trip from Manchester, it’s also home to Wild Shore Delamere—a brilliant family-friendly aqua park featuring a massive floating obstacle course.
What to expect at Wild Shore Delamere
This giant aquatic playground is built for fun, safety, and thrills, packed with Ninja Warrior-esque challenges. Test your balance and courage on the Tire Run, Ninja-Jump, and Eagles Nest, before taking on Mount Rainier, an epic 3.8-metre inflatable tower. It provides a fantastic test of nerve for visitors of all ages and skill levels.
The excitement doesn’t stop there. Wild Shore also features the newer Aqua Chimp, an innovative floating ropes course bursting with ziplines, rope swings, and tricky obstacles. With no safety harnesses to hold you back, a splash landing is your only safety net! Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, the green, blue, and red graded runs ensure endless fun for everyone.
Traditional water sports at Wild Shore Delamere
If you’re looking for more traditional watersports, Wild Shore has you covered with paddleboarding, wakeboarding, and open-water swimming. They also run wildly entertaining Ringo sessions, where you can take turns bouncing and splashing across the lake on giant towable inflatables.
These activities make an incredible standalone adventure or the perfect add-on to your Wake, Stand Up Paddleboard, or Aqua Park booking.
The brand new sauna at Wild Shore Delamere
If you’re not such a high-adrenaline person, you may want to see what the brand new sauna at Wild Shore Delamere has in store. New for 2026, The Sauna is a calm, secluded space to sweat out your worries and drown out the chaos, and the accompanying Cold Plunge offers the chance to dig deep into contrast therapy.
The final touches are being put on The Sauna, but the thrilling thing is, it’s set to stay open past November when the splash park itself winds down for winter, so you can get your wellness fix all year round! Wild Shore Delamere isn’t just for the thrill-seekers, but for those looking for a true escape.
Whatever you choose, Wild Shore Delamere guarantees you’ll leave completely drenched and grinning from ear to ear!
The Wild Shore Delamere aqua park remains open until 1st November 2026. You can check out their holiday and term-time schedules here.
