August holidays in UK forests

Make the most of August with a forest escape. As summer reaches its peak, the forest is brimming with golden light, warm breezes, and the lingering magic of long, starlit evenings. Whether you're unwinding in the hot tub, enjoying alfresco meals on your decking, or discovering hidden woodland trails, August is the perfect time to reconnect with nature. Let the kids roam free, watch for wildlife through the trees, or simply sit back and soak up the stillness.

Forest Holidays lodges are set in 13 beautiful forest locations across the UK. Top August getaways include Cropton & Keldy in North Yorkshire, Glentress Forest near Edinburgh, and Strathyre in the heart of Ben Ledi.

August breaks from £890
