Our approach
Eco-Friendly Glamping in the National Forest
Broadleaves offers eco-friendly luxury glamping accommodation in the heart of the National Forest in Derbyshire.
Our family-run farm combines sustainable tourism, renewable energy, woodland restoration and biodiversity enhancement with comfortable luxury glamping experiences for couples, families and nature lovers.
We are passionate about our landscape, its biodiversity and environmental sustainability.
Regenerative tourism in action
Measurable Environmental Impact
Broadleaves is part of a long-term landscape restoration project, not simply a glamping site with green credentials.
100,000+ Trees
More than 100,000 trees planted and maintained in collaboration with the National Forest Company over the last 25 years.
70%+ Biodiversity Increase
ADAS measured a verified biodiversity net gain increase of over 70% as part of the glamping site construction.
140 Fruit Trees
A biodiverse multi-variety orchard of 140 fruit trees was created in the winter of 2026.
1,200 Shelter Belt Trees
Over 1,200 additional shelter belt trees and three new hedgerows were planted to enhance the landscape.
Woodland restoration
100,000 Trees, Wildlife Habitats and Seasonal Biodiversity
The farm is part of the Countryside Stewardship scheme and sustainable farm initiatives which have helped us further enhance our environment by restoring wildlife habitats and creating woodlands.
We are in the heart of the National Forest and, in collaboration with the National Forest Company, we have planted and maintained more than 100,000 trees over the last 25 years — a figure that is still increasing.
In the winter of 2026 we created a biodiverse multi-variety orchard of 140 fruit trees, three new hedgerows and over 1,200 more shelter belt trees.
This continued enhancing of the landscape means that the biodiversity of plants continues to increase and the landscape changes throughout the seasons, offering beautiful colours, sounds and smells.
Biodiversity net gain
ADAS-Verified Biodiversity Increase of Over 70%
As part of the construction of the glamping site we undertook to hugely improve biodiversity.
ADAS measured a verified increase of over 70% in biodiversity net gain. This included the planting of more trees, woodland shrubs and wild flowers, as well as erecting bird and bat boxes and leaving log piles for insect habitats.
All of this can be seen and enjoyed by our guests, creating a nature-rich luxury glamping experience that directly supports the landscape around it.
The numbers
Regenerative Tourism in Measurable Terms
Broadleaves is backed by long-term environmental work, verified biodiversity gains and decades of woodland creation in the National Forest.
Renewable energy
Solar-Powered Luxury with Off-Grid Drainage
The site is largely powered by our own solar array and we use an off-grid drainage system while still providing luxury bathrooms with flushing toilets, rainfall showers and luxury eco toiletries.
Rustic doesn’t need to mean basic.
Our goal is to offer a comfortable, memorable guest experience while reducing impact wherever possible through renewable energy, considered infrastructure and sustainable design choices.
Sustainable materials
Reclaimed Wood, Sustainable Firewood and Outdoor Living
Logs used for our wood-fired hot tubs, log burners and fire pits are all sourced from our own sustainably managed woodlands and left to dry and season naturally.
The fire pits enjoyed at each tent are handmade in Wales and feature a cooking grill and hot plate for outdoor cooking.
Or, if you prefer, you can cook in your own private covered outdoor kitchen, where each kitchen worktop unit has been built by us from reclaimed and recycled wooden fence rails to continue the sustainable approach.
