Visited the Black rocks for a day out with children, for the first time in cromford, Derbyshire, i was mesmerised by the stunning views soon as we had got there, a great place for walks with children or on own to admire the stunning views, right outside our door step, The climb of the rocks a little scary but a lovely little adventure as a family, we went during summer months of 2020, with a little picnic, Sandwich and coffee with a view. A great place to visit with kids for some exciting outdoor fresh air.

The National Forest is one of England’s most ambitious environmental projects. Across parts of Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire, 200 square miles are being transformed, blending ancient woodland with new planting to create a new national Forest. There is a wealth of choice for great days out or short breaks with bustling attractions, gentle walking and brilliant activities. In less than twenty years, one of the least wooded parts of the country has been transformed. Around 8 million trees have been planted, trebling the woodland cover and creating habitats for wildlife and a beautiful landscape for people to enjoy. The ultimate goal is for woodland to cover around a third of the Forest area and to link the ancient forests of Charnwood and Needwood.The gentle undulating landscape is perfect for walking, cycling and horse-riding. And through the creation of new habitats, The National Forest is an ideal location for bird and wildlife watching.From watersports to wildlife watching, cycling to craft centres and loads of wet weather options too, The National Forest really does have something for everyone. And in this ever-changing landscape as the Forest grows, one thing is guaranteed, there is always something new to see.

Not enough trees to make it a National Forest. Some great walks though or trails to go mountain biking on or walk the dogs or ride the horses. Most of the trails are on ex-train lines but you wouldn't know. I know because I remember trains running. Conkers Discovery Centre - part of the National Forest at Moira appears to take the money, which is wrong. Shame on you National Forest people
5. Derby Arboretum
