Swadlincote Woodlands brings The National Forest right to the edge of Swadlincote town centre, an 80 acre urban woodland park with 40,000 new trees, interpretative boards, arts and heritage features. The woodlands has a network of footpaths criss-cross the site and wasa former landfill and open cast site. The park has developed a great deal over the last 10 years and the park now offers a play area, picnic areas and a climbing rock.
