My Forest of Dean

The Forest of Dean is easily accessible from many major cities and areas of the UK, but with the Severn Bridges now toll free it has never been easier or quicker to reach us from Bristol, Bath and the South West. So we’d like to invite you to make a date to come and experience all that the Forest of Dean has to offer.

Our exciting new film shows our area off in all its glory - a natural outdoor playground where you are invited to ‘make it yours’ through heritage, adventure, nature, taste and of course, a lot of fun along the way.

Forest of Dean… Make it Yours

Climb to the top of a hill for an epic view of seven counties, wander through ancient woodland, cosy up in a forest cabin with a hot tub, taste delicious artisan food and award-winning wines, try something new such as kayaking, caving, archery or even handling a hawk.

Then feel the rush of soaring birds of prey overhead, or your mountain bike beneath as you bump along a trail. From heritage railway attractions which younger visitors will adore, to open-air sculpture trails, craft centres and pretty pub gardens, this is a place for tots, teens, friends, families, new couples, retired couples, and everyone in between.
