welcome...
“The Forest of Dean is one of those really special places – a place steeped
in history and ancient traditions. Not only that, it's beautiful mixed
woodland, criss-crossed with a network of enticing tracks and paths,
make it a perfect place for walkers and cyclists to explore to their heart's content. And of
course it is wonderful for wildlife throughout the year. The forest is a place to celebrate the drama of
nature, from the first flush of green in spring, to the dark green shades of summer, the glorious autumn
colour and spare beauty of winter”.

for freedom
A leisurely ride on
horseback
An opportunity to ride through this
beautiful area on four brand new
horse riding trails that are connected
by quiet country lanes.
The recently launched ‘Forest of
Dean Greenways’ provide horse
enthusiasts the opportunity to
view the area on horseback.
All four of the Greenway routes have
been designed to connect to nearby
towns, villages, hotels, B&B
providers, visitor attractions and
equestrian centres to provide an
exciting new opportunity to see the
area on horseback.
For further information and to
download the trails visit

Walking with another
four legged friend
There are ample opportunities to
walk your dog and enjoy the
adventure that is the Forest of Dean,
well away from the traffic with
masses of space that will keep the
most energetic dog (and owner)
entertained! From ½ hour strolls to a
two hour hike, with picnic spots
along the way, neither you nor your
furry friend should want for more.
For the more serious walkers, or
those that want a challenge there are
an array of walking trails both
medium and long distance, including
the infamous Offa’s Dyke National
Trail, Wysis Way and the Wye Valley
Walk… both with stunning viewpoints
along the way.
And Relax
During all your daytime activities
don’t forget to relax and enjoy a
picnic, there are some truly amazing
spots to sit back and enjoy your
surroundings, whilst sampling a
locally sourced picnic (that you
prepared earlier) and perhaps a
cheeky glass of wine!
If you fancy learning how to cook
up a really tasty treat after all that
exploring, Harts Barn Cookery
School offers some fantastic
courses... you can even learn to
forage for your ingredients.

Experience something
new…
1
on your bike
A trail for the whole family, or
a more adventurous experience for
off-road lovers, there is something for
everyone... from the 11 mile Family
Cycle Trail to the nationally
acclaimed Verderer’s Trail which offers
7 miles of all-weather adrenalin. If
downhill tracks are your thing, try the
Ski Run to the Corkscrew which departs
from Cannop Cycle Centre. There is
also Redhill Extreme, a mountain
biking and boarding centre with
tracks and jumps for all abilities!
2
make a splash
Of course the River Wye is one of the
most scenic areas in the UK and it
doesn’t end there... with so much to do
from fishing to cruises and canoeing
or kayaking to white water rafting.
Or, there is always the option to just
relax and enjoy the scenery at one of
the eateries that line the river.
3
through a lens
A photographer’s paradise, whether it
is action, landscape or wildlife that
takes your fancy the Forest of Dean
and Wye Valley has it all. With
opportunities for group tuition or
bespoke one to one master classes,
whatever level you are at, it’s a great
location to perfect your style!

hole in one
Excellent greens and challenging
holes, with two championship
courses available why go anywhere
else? On a smaller scale…. tee off on
the 12 hole miniature golf right in the
heart of the Wye Valley.
5
Severn Bore
A spectacular natural phenomena,
this tidal wave is the second highest
in the world! There are a number of
viewing points along the river, and
there is even the opportunity to surf!
6
walk on water
Yes you really can at the National
Diving and Activity Centre! If that
doesn’t take your fancy then why not
try the one of the UK’s longest zip
wires or the new watersport craze
that has hit the UK; Flyboarding.
7
birds of prey
With an appeal to all ages, the
International Centre for Birds of Prey
(as seen on BBC 1 The One Show), is
a fantastic showcase of over 200
birds and is set just outside Newent.
8
take aim, fire!
Fancy improving your shooting skills?
Whether it is clay pigeon shooting,
air rifle or archery, there is something
for every ability! There are options
for tuition or to simply book and have
a go, with the beautiful scenery on
offer, you won’t be disappointed.
9
ropes & wheels
Forest Segway is a new activity that is
raring to go….explore the Forest on
two wheels! This is in addition to the
climbing towers, zip wires, abseiling,
rock climbing and high wire
adventures that makes the Forest of
Dean an adrenalin junkies dream.
10
back to basics
Want to know how to survive and
thrive in the natural environment
using ancient skills and knowledge?
Learn skills that our ancestors used
and put them into practice; from
firecraft, hunting, shelter building to
hand carving wood. Or learn farming
skills and experience ‘lambing live’.

Learning & exploring…
There are lots of things to see and do in the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley, you will
have to visit more than once to be sure to try and fit everything in!
The Forest of Dean & Wye Valley through the eyes of a
four year old…
I like searching for the Gruffalo and
finding where he likes to sleep,
although walking through the woods
we often see lots of sheep.
When we went to see Thomas I liked
that very much, especially when
there was a race and Thomas the
Tank won!

T
erever I go

ys sticks,
there are alwa
,
t to play with
which are grea
er and then
with my broth
the lake.
we race them in
There are always ducks to feed at
Mallards Pike Lake, they all swim up
fast and wait for the bread which my
nana makes! When we are there
you often see big gorillas in the
trees… but these are not real they
are just mummies and daddies trying
to swing through trees.
It’s nice to see Harry Potter’s owl
who likes to go twit twoo, and then
you can watch the big birds fly and
land on the lady’s arm. We have also
seen many tractors and an indoor
area too… where there is a big slide
to go down and lots of space to play.
When my tummy rumbles, mummy
gets out a big packed lunch or there
are lots of café shops which are full
of lovely things to eat and drink and
make me run real fast.
Ryan on one of his forest adventures
Father Christmas visits and last year
we went down the caves… but he
likes to visit lots of other places too
as he treats all children the same.
But you must be good to get a present
as he watches you all year round, so
when you visit the Forest next look
up in the sky and you may just see a
trail of smoke where he has just
flown by!
by Ryan, age 4
We have also been to places with
lots of animals and funny looking
things which I think are known as
scowles. We also played hide and
seek amongst a great big hedge and
then learnt all about the butterflies
which were fluttering around!

Cycle Trail, Geomap at New Fancy or the beautiful Tintern Abbey...
in roman footsteps
The Romans made their
mark on the Dean with
their iron ore excavations,
extracted from scowles to
be taken to Blestium (now
Monmouth) to be turned
into weapons and
Bloomery smelting
furnaces. They also built
roads, settlements, estates,
villas and temples, the most
famous of which was the
temple to the God Nodens
at Lydney Park.
This significant temple complex was
discovered alongside the best
preserved iron mines from Roman
Britain and was excavated by the
world famous archaeologist,
Sir Mortimer Wheeler and his wife in
1928 and the dig revealed a treasure
trove of artefacts, including little
stamps to put maker’s names on,
ointments, medicines and votive
offerings to Nodens, which included
the beautiful bronze statuette known
as the ‘Lydney Dog’.
In fact JRR Tolkein, the author of the
epic tale The Lord of the Rings was
responsible for tracing the history of
Nodens and results were published
in 1932 with the full report of the
excavation which can be viewed at
the Gage Library at Dean Heritage
Centre.

Dean Heritage Centre, The Lydney Dog
Nodens, a Roman-British deity
associated with healing the sick the god of healing, was worshipped
here but was never depicted in
human form and nine representations
of a dog, later to become known as
the Lydney Dog were found on the
site. It is thought that dogs were
symbols of healing in Roman times
due to their self-cleansing of wounds
by licking them.
Lydney Spring Gardens contain site
replicas of the famous Lydney Dog
and visitors in the summer months
can see the remains of the Roman
Temple and visit the museum.
Dean Heritage Centre is home to
many archaeological finds from
across the Forest of Dean, some of
which are Roman and is open all
year round.

Dr Who – Christmas Special
‘Atlantis’ is a new series from the
creators of Merlin. It has provided a
new hero for BBC viewers on autumn
Saturday evenings. Atlantis is inspired
by Greek mythology and follows the
adventures of Jason and friends as
they seek to discover the fate of

god Dionysus. In the episode ‘The
Song of Sirens’ Hecules (Mark Addy)

defending the world from the magic
eating aliens. With plenty of magic
and adventure this is one of the most
popular programmes on CBBC.
Puzzlewood is the site of an
encounter between the schoolboy
heroes and the Alien Nekross.
Matt Smith filmed one of his first
episodes of ‘Dr Who’ at Puzzlewood,
