    IIRC Kielder is the biggest planted commercial forestry.

    Sherwood Forest? I drive past the signs many times but yet to see more than a couple of saplings. It's a con – I bet Robin Hood never existed either.

    EDIT: LOL at Organic 😛

    The largest forest of native species has only just been planted, Heartwood Forest – 850 acres near St Albans.
    The 'Forest Parks' are certainly a much larger area but are really just tree factories and not 'proper' woodland 😉

    New Forest is the largest "natural/unsown" forest in the UK.
