South Derbyshire, located at the heart of the National Forest

A scenic and spectacular place to put your best foot forward.

Whether you’re a motivated walker, or need a little extra encouragement, we have something to suit everyone.

Our weekly Nordic Walking session take place on Thursdays from 10am at Rosliston Forestry Centre.
