December holidays in UK forest destinations

Feel the magic of December in the forest, where winter sparkles and the spirit of the season comes alive. Step into a world lightly dusted with frost, where evergreens shimmer in the soft morning light and the quiet of the woods wraps gently around you. Spend your days wandering crisp woodland trails or unwinding in the warmth of your hot tub, steam rising as snowflakes drift through the air. When evening falls, gather by the glow of the log burner while the stars shine above the treetops. December in the forest is a time for togetherness, reflection, and wonder a moment when the holiday season feels both magical and beautifully simple.

Forest Holidays lodges are set in 13 forest locations across the UK. Top destinations for December include Garwnant in the Brecon Beacons, Deerpark in Cornwall, and Strathyre in Scotland, each offering a perfect woodland retreat for festive escapes and wintry adventures.
