A little history
Swadlincote was a centre of the South Derbyshire coalfield. The National Forest project — creating a new forest across 200 square miles of the East Midlands — has transformed the area. The Conkers visitor centre is the National Forest's main attraction. The town is reinventing itself through green tourism.
The National Forest walking and cycling is excellent. Conkers is good for families. The Ashby Canal towpath for peaceful walking. The town centre for local character.
