Excerpt: Established in 1990, the newly created National Forest is an area of 520 km² (200 square miles) of Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire in England. It stretches from the outskirts of Leicester in the east to Burton upon Trent and beyond in the west, and links the ancient forests of Needwood and Charnwood.
