Where is The National Forest?
The National Forest covers 200 square miles of the English Midlands spanning parts of Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Staffordshire and incorporates the towns of Burton upon Trent, Coalville, Ashby de la Zouch and Swadlincote.

What is The National Forest?
The National Forest is one of the most ambitious and imaginative environmental projects of today. The Forest is encouraging alternative land use by farmers and landowners, and is stimulating business, leisure, tourism and educational activity throughout the area.

How big is The National Forest?
The boundary for The National Forest is fixed and covers 200 square miles. At the outset of the project, woodland covered only 6% of the area. The ultimate aim is that woodland will cover approximately a third of the area, a third will remain in agriculture with the remainder comprising the towns and villages. 30 million trees (60% broadleaf 40% conifer) will eventually be planted.

Things to Do and Places to Visit
At the National Forest there are a number of activities to take part in from walking, cycling, to angling, horse riding, golf, orienteering, and water based sports. Coupled with a number of places of interest to visit including historic and heritage based visitor attractions, woodlands, lakes, canals and reservoirs, craft and garden centres and museums.
