Forest of Dean
An ancient forest that has changed many times over the centuries. In medieval times it was a royal hunting forest, before becoming a source of timber for the navy’s Tudor warships. By Victorian times it was a major centre of industry, with coal mining and tramways punctuating the landscape.

Mallards Pike
Miles of tracks to discover, with walking and running trails from 2km up to 10km. The lakeside path is flat, fairly wide and easy to access, with benches along the way, which are good vantage points for watching mandarins and other ducks.

Wye Valley
The Wye was voted the nation’s favourite river in 2010. One of the most natural rivers in Britain, it rises in the mountains of mid-Wales and flows south for some 150 miles before meeting the Severn. In its lower stretches it meanders for 58 miles through the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, from just south of Hereford down to Chepstow.

Bird watching
The Forest of Dean and Wye Valley are home to a huge variety of birds throughout the year. Woodland, heathland, bogs, rivers, farmland and grassland habitats support many nationally rare species. You can walk straight from the site into the woods, and with plenty of bird feeders on site you can watch the birds of the forest from beside your caravan.
