A vast new forest of more than half a million trees, pockets of ancient woodland, wildflower meadows and fantastic wildlife spotting. It's no surprise that the Woodland Trust's Heartwood Forest is one of our most popular destinations.

What's more, Heartwood Forest promises to be even bigger and better in the future. Visit us today and you can go wild in the great outdoors, enjoy some fantastic walks and really get back to nature. Come back again and you'll be rewarded with the unique chance to watch this new natural world grow all around you.

Heartwood Forest's 347-hectare (858-acre) site rises from what was once mainly agricultural land. It's so big that it's now the largest continuous new native forest in England; a place where everyone can find space, peace, wildlife and miles of beautiful woodland to explore.

Heartwood Forest is owned and managed by the Woodland Trust along with more than 1,000 sites all over the UK and supported by more than 250,000 members.
