At Center Parcs, we offer a more peaceful way to get away. Set within acres of protected and enhanced forest, our villages combine exceptional leisure experiences with space to unwind, switch off sooner and spend quality time together. Closer to home and further from the everyday, Center Parcs helps people reconnect with what matters most. Center Parcs operates five villages in the UK and one in Ireland: • Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire • Elveden Forest, Suffolk • Longleat Forest, Wiltshire • Whinfell Forest, Cumbria • Woburn Forest, Bedfordshire • Longford Forest, Ireland Each village is set within a forest environment, typically around 400 acres in size, and offers high-quality accommodation in fully equipped Apartments and Lodges nestled amongst trees and streams. Each village features hundreds of indoor and outdoor activities, a wide choice of restaurants, bars and retail outlets, and the award-winning Aqua Sana Spa. Woodland, water and nature remain at the heart of every Center Parcs break, creating space to unwind and time to reconnect while the forest sets the pace. Having revolutionised the holiday market in the Netherlands more than 30 years ago, Center Parcs brought its unique short-break concept to the UK with the opening of Sherwood Forest in 1987. Since then, the brand has become synonymous with exceptional short breaks in forest locations, helping millions of guests spend less time travelling and more time together. Today, Center Parcs is the leader in the UK short-break market, offering a distinctive experience that combines adventure, relaxation and meaningful moments in nature, with everything guests are craving closer than they think.
