Secluded Woodland Weddings in the Peak District

Tucked away above the Derwent Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Swinney Wood offers something truly special. Imagine exchanging vows beneath a canopy of ancient trees, in a secluded woodland setting that feels effortlessly romantic, deeply personal, and entirely unforgettable.

Swinney Wood Log Cabins was established in 2020, but its story began long before that. The woodland has been in my family for many years — a place of outstanding natural beauty where I’ve always felt completely at peace. I often dreamt of waking up here, surrounded by nature and the sounds of the wildlife. From that dream, the idea of building log cabins was born, allowing others to experience the same magic.

As the cabins welcomed more guests, something special began to happen. Swinney Wood became a sought-after proposal destination, with couples drawn to its intimate and romantic atmosphere. Time and time again, I was asked — “Do you offer weddings?”

The answer, now, is yes. Olivine Weddings at Swinney Wood feels like the natural next chapter, giving couples the chance to say ‘I do’ in a setting that embodies peace, tranquillity, and the quiet beauty of nature. I’m proud to share my little piece of heaven, and all the magic it holds, with others on one of the most meaningful days of their lives.
