The Forest of Dean is filled with beautiful places to visit and historic villages and towns surrounded by woods with gentle streams, fast rivers, beautiful shady glades and woodland paths to aimlessly walk on to your hearts content.

Both the Forest and the Wye Valley have an extraordinary range of activities from archery, abseiling, walking and quad biking to cycling, mountain biking, canoeing and climbing. And there are many wonderful attractions such as the National Birds of Prey Centre, the Three Choirs Vineyard in Newent and the ancient abbey and iron ore mines at Clearwell.

If you want to shop then nearby is Regency Cheltenham and the City of Gloucester. Both are packed with great shops and attractions, plus sporting events from the worlds of cricket, rugby and football plus horse racing including the annual Cheltenham Gold Cup extravaganza.
