Stay in the Forest

Woodland breaks

The Heart of England Forest is ideally placed for visitors to extend their stay and truly reconnect with nature. Stretching up the Warwickshire / Worcestershire border, from the present-day borders of Shakespeare’s Forest of Arden, across the ancient Forest of Feckenham, and down to the edge of the Vale of Evesham, it’s a beautiful and very special part of the world.

There are several options to stay overnight or for longer in the Forest, all with the wonderful woodlands on the doorstep:
