Darwin Forest is a luxury lodge holiday park set in woodland on the edge of the Derbyshire Peak District. The self-catering lodges sleep from two to eight guests, with spa lodges featuring outdoor hot tubs. The park has an Evolution Health and Fitness Centre with spa and beauty treatments, the Foresters bar and restaurant, and Little Monkeys indoor play centre. Guests can walk and cycle on woodland trails and take part in sporting activities. Many lodges are dog-friendly. The park sits near Peak District attractions including walks, cycling routes, stately homes, theme parks and caverns.
Evolution Health & Fitness Centre closed for essential maintenance from Monday 30th November until Friday 18th December 2026.
