Darwin Forest Country Park
Recently winning the accolade of being Hoseasons 'Best lodge park in Britain' Darwin Forest provides self-catering holiday accommodation in the Derbyshire Peak District - convenient for Matlock, Bakewell and Chatsworth House.
5 Star Darwin Forest is set in mature woodland with superb facilities to help you experience a great holiday, with the freedom to do as much or as little as you like...!
Evolution Health and Fitness centre has a large swimming pool which is free to use for guests. The well equipped gymnasium, spa, sauna and steam room are available for a small additional charge. Beauty therapy and massage treatments are offered too.
'Little Monkeys' provides a multi-level indoor play arena for our younger guests as well as an all day cafe where the whole family can get something delicious to eat. The Foresters Inn is ideal for a relaxing drink or meal in the evening. Free Wi-Fi internet access is now available in each lodge and the main facility buildings. Many of the lodges at Darwin now have their own private hot-tub too.
Activities include tennis, soft play, orienteering, adventure playground, mini-golf, a stroll around the woodland walks or renting out mountain bikes. We have now even added electric bikes to our hire fleet - a great way to make a car-free visit to Chatsworth.
We take our responsibilities towards environmental management and conservation seriously at Darwin Forest and as a result have won the coveted David Bellamy Gold Conservation Award for the last fourteen years.
