Local Area
Spectacularly lovely countryside, fascinating industrial heritage, stately homes, top family attractions and huge variety of exciting leisure activities - discover all this and more when you stay at one of our holiday parks in Derbyshire. For many, the Peak District in the north of the county is the greatest draw, but you’ll find other wonderful attractions within easy reach of our holiday parks. Derbyshire’s lovely landscape is the setting for some of England’s finest historic buildings - magnificent Chatsworth House and Gardens, evocative Calke Abbey and the Robert Adam interiors at Kedleston Hall are all 'must sees’ as is the site of Britain’s first factory, still home to Royal Crown Derby Porcelain. The famous racetrack and museum at Castle Donnington are also firm favourites with many visitors who enjoy caravan holidays in Derbyshire.

Darwin Forest Country Park is excellent value for money and it is a really child friendly park. As well as the soft play area for under fives, my two year old son really enjoyed the swimming pool and the freedom to wander around the park safely. I loved the holiday and would definitely visit for a third time! | ||

The park had everything needed for a most enjoyable holiday. The lodges were very comfortable, and the layout of the park meant they were quite private. Also the park is well located for touring the local area! | ||
