Landal Darwin Forest

Landal Darwin Forest is a serene holiday park nestled in 47 acres of Peak District woodland, offering families a peaceful escape with excellent facilities. The resort features high-quality lodge accommodation scattered throughout the forest, providing privacy and tranquility. The Forest Retreat indoor pool complex includes a main pool, toddler pool, sauna, and steam room, creating a relaxing aquatic environment. While smaller than some resort waterparks, it offers a more intimate, peaceful swimming experience. The forest setting provides natural entertainment with woodland walks, bike trails on traffic-free paths, and wildlife spotting opportunities. Children can enjoy the outdoor adventure playground, crazy golf, and tennis courts. The resort offers regular activity programs including arts and crafts, nature trails, and family sports competitions. The Timbers Bar and Restaurant provides dining options, though lodges come fully equipped with kitchens for self-catering. The resort's location in the Peak District makes it an excellent base for exploring popular attractions like Chatsworth House, Alton Towers, and the historic market towns of Bakewell and Matlock. What sets Darwin Forest apart is its emphasis on natural surroundings and relaxation rather than high-energy entertainment, making it perfect for families who want to disconnect and enjoy quality time together in nature.
