Forest Trails & Woodland Walks
Darwin Forest is the perfect forest holiday. There are miles of picturesque footpaths and forest trails to explore on foot straight from your woodland lodge. Guests can enjoy walking on the Trim Trak woodland walk, around the picturesque Meadow or around the longer Forest Trail in the adjacent Foresty England woodland.
We have also created a range of circular walks that enable guests to explore more of the beautiful Derbyshire Dales.
The tranquil forest surroundings help you to fully relax. Why not take part in Forest Bathing (known as shinrin yoku in Japan) where you can simply enjoy being quiet and calm, observing nature, breathing deeply and reconnecting with yourself. The perfect natural activity.
The sound of nature is all around with the birds singing as you enjoy a stroll or you enjoy a morning coffee on your decking whilst you listen to the dawn chorus. You may also see and hear woodland animals such as rabbits, owls, squirrels and bats.
Escape the everyday, and surround yourself with nature with a forest holiday.
