Welcome...
to the Autumn & Winter edition
of What’s On in South Derbyshire
and The National Forest
Amid rolling English countryside dotted with picturesque
villages you will find so much to enjoy; from historic houses
and gardens, to meandering rivers and canals, to archery and
snowboarding. All set in the heart of The National Forest,
Britain’s most ambitious environmental project. Linking the
ancient forests of Needwood and Charnwood, more than eight
million trees have already been planted. The woodland is being
created on a scale not seen for more than a thousand years,
creating stunning landscapes and wildlife habitats. Come and
enjoy it this season.
There’s so much more to explore...
South Derbyshire at
the heart of England,
the place to enjoy
rural recreation.
Make sure
South Derbyshire is at the
top of your Christmas list…
