_Site Selection _ UK Rainforest?

OK, so last time I checked the UK didnt have a hidden rainforests to locate a secluded spa, the UK does however have stunning areas of woodland and forests where Robin Hood once aquanted! Much of the UK's forest and woodland are of course protected, there are a few examples of sites which are surrounded by woodland and are crying out for development however.

I've been looking into different sites to locate a potential spa during the last few weeks and have come up with a few potential sites, all of the sites are located arond the town of sheffield where I live, the sites include:-

1. A general cemetery and wooded park with several deralict buildings which is screaming out for redevelopment.

2. A small wooded area located near the centre of the city of Sheffield, a old and tired green patch located within a grey urban sprawl.

3. An area on a small hill which overlooks a canal and river and has several old buildings which could be converted.


The above photo is an early precident, the photo shows the home of architect Chris Tate based in Auckland, the building slides between thick trees and sits on the forest floor.
