The National Forest
developed as major national and local focus for recreation.
The National forest is an area
of almost 200 square miles, where a Forest for the nation is
being developed. Set in the heart of England, the National
Forest will be a patchwork of woodland, farms, open country,
towns and villages. From the very start the Forest has been
developed as major national and local focus for recreation.
The forest covers parts of East Staffordshire, North West Leicestershire and South Derbyshire. From Leicester and Loughborough in the east, to west of Burton, with Swadlincote, Ashby-de-la-Zouch Coalville in the heart of the forest.
