Things to do in Pamber Heath
Pamber Heath sits on the edge of Pamber Forest, which is most of what there is to do here, and plenty. The Memorial Hall carries a dozen regular groups, and St Luke's is open every day.
Out and about
Free, and nobody to book with.
Pamber Forest
Two hundred and fourteen hectares of ancient woodland and heath, looked after by the Wildlife Trust and open at all times, dogs on a lead. Oaks over three hundred years old, purple emperors and white admirals in summer, wild daffodils and wood anemones in spring, adders on the open heath, and in 2024 the first nightjars known to have bred here. The car park is the gravel area where Impstone Road bears right.

A waymarked two mile trail from the Impstone Road car park, with posts every three hundred metres or so, through the forest to the open heath. The trust suggests it for a first visit.

Built in 1876 and used as the village school until 1909. Open for private prayer every day from 9 to 4, with a new wildlife pond and a bench at the front.
