National Forest Spring Water captures the flavours and goodness of the truly green environment it comes from.

Drink in the English countryside!

Our water is inspired by and sourced in The National Forest – a natural attraction in the making that provides access to acres of countryside and the opportunity for countless rural leisure activities.

National Forest Spring Water is fed from gravel beds 220ft beneath the surface on the edge of the historic Derbyshire town of Melbourne. It is bottled at source using state-of-the art facilities.

It comes still or sparkling – naturally pure – and is also available with a Forest Fruit flavour to add a sparkling fruity twist.

Enjoy its natural advantage!

National Forest Spring Water is sourced from a 220ft-deep borehole on the edge of the Derbyshire town of Melbourne.

The very name of the historic town is associated with water – it is derived from “mill on the brook”.

Throughout history the area has been associated with water and subsequent fertility.

The town is situated just two miles from the River Trent. A few miles upstream this waterway continues to be used in the production of Burton-on-Trent’s celebrated beers.

Within a very short distance of Melbourne, reservoirs have now been created to take advantage of the area’s wonderful hydration.

But the source of The National Forest Spring Water stretches back in time. Geological studies have shown that it comes from gravel beds that could have been laid down by a river of the past.

The rich mix of geological attributes in the area – carboniferous limestone, millstone grit and alluvial floodplains included, have proved a fertile mix. Market gardening has long been a staple of the economy in the area and indeed for many years water from The National Forest Spring was used to nourish delicious salad vegetables.

More recently the area has become part of The National Forest, which aims to create a 200 square mile area where woodland predominates. The region has always drawn lovers of the countryside and outdoor life, this new initiative is now bringing even more of them to the area.

Drink in the history – ancient and modern!
To keep our bodies performing at their best good hydration is essential – doctors and nutritionists recommend that we drink between six and eight 250ml glasses each day.

The reason we need water is to carry nutrients to our body cells and transport waste products out of them.

As those who regularly exercise will be aware, it has a draining effect on our bodies – it’s important to replace lost fluids during physical activity.

But for most people getting to a tap regularly throughout the day isn’t easy – and even if you can, it’s not always that palatable.

But with fruity twists and a hint of the Derbyshire countryside, keeping a bottle of The National Forest Spring Water at hand makes drinking a couple of litres a day a very easy medicine to swallow!
