context_page_description: Center Parcs UK and Ireland is a short-break holiday company that operates six holiday villages in the United Kingdom and Ireland, with each covering about 400 acres of woodland. The company's first village opened at Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire, in 1987 and its sixth, at Longford Forest, Ireland, opened in 2019.
  A similar enterprise operates in continental Europe, also under the name Center Parcs, however the two companies have been separately owned since 2001. Center Parcs UK marked its 30th anniversary year in 2017.
context_section_description: The third village opened in 1994. It makes up a large area of Longleat Forest in the county of Wiltshire, England, and is co-located on the site of Longleat Safari Park nearby, approximately five miles (8 km) east of Frome and a few miles west of Warminster, Wiltshire. This village has fewer lodges than Elveden Forest and Sherwood Forest due to the steep topography of the site.
