The plantation covers a vast area of approximately 20 hectares and is predominantly made up of mature oak and beech trees, creating a dense and richly diverse forest.

Black Plantation is not only a haven for wildlife but also offers recreational activities such as picnicking and hiking. The peaceful ambiance and stunning natural beauty make it an ideal spot for those seeking a quiet and rejuvenating retreat in the midst of nature.

Overall, Black Plantation in Derbyshire is a hidden gem that showcases the beauty of the English countryside. With its dense and dark woodland, it offers a unique and captivating experience for visitors, making it a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and explorers alike.
