Long Plantation is a picturesque woodland located in Derbyshire, England. Situated in the heart of the countryside, it covers an expansive area and is surrounded by the natural beauty of the Peak District National Park.

As its name suggests, Long Plantation is primarily composed of a dense forest of tall trees. The woodland consists of a variety of tree species, including oak, beech, and birch, which create a vibrant and diverse ecosystem. The lush undergrowth is home to an array of plant species, such as bluebells and wild garlic, adding bursts of color throughout the seasons.

The plantation offers a haven for wildlife and is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers. Visitors may encounter a range of bird species, including woodpeckers, jays, and owls, as well as small mammals like squirrels and rabbits.

The woodland is crisscrossed with well-maintained footpaths, allowing visitors to explore its tranquil surroundings. There are also designated picnic areas and benches, providing opportunities to relax and enjoy the serenity of the woodland. The plantation is particularly beautiful during spring when the trees are in full bloom and the air is filled with the sweet scent of blossoms.

Long Plantation is easily accessible by car and public transport, with ample parking available nearby. It offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, providing a perfect setting for nature lovers to immerse themselves in the beauty of Derbyshire's countryside.
