good place to live. Plenty to see and do, even when the weather is not at it's best. Lots of good coffee places!

This review will be totally biased as this is where I was born. To me the forest will always be home to no matter where I live now or when in other parts of the UK or the world. You can take the man out of the forest, but you can never take the forest out of the man. I have seen the forest in all it's glory throughout the season, but for the best times are in early spring with the bluebells making the forest floor a carpet of blue as far as the eye can see. One of the best places to see the bluebells is chestnut wood just below Littedean, For the wild daffodils Newent is the place to be, but please do not buy these daffodils at the roadside as they have been picked without permission. The other time is in the autumn, not long age I stayed at the Speech House Hotel as I drove out of the car park I had to stop the car as the morning mist was hanging in the trees turning the leaves a light golden colour mixing with rusty brown of the bracken and the bright green of the grass in my eyes it was a fantastic sight and one I will remember for a long time.There are so many places to visit in the forest and to long to list so I will leave the reader to discover this for themselves as this is all part the fun. The only thing I miss about the forest is the local dialect which is fast disappearing and I still have problems remembering a lot of the old words, for example owe bist ole butt. (hello old friend) yud (head) yutting (eating) sship (sheep) vitt (feet). There is one thing that the visitor to the Royal Forest of Dean must remember that when driving, the sheep have the right of way on the roads, as they can do a lot of damage to a car if you hit one. Last of all if you want to make love in the forest you must first apply for a fern ticket from the fern ticket office. I am now into my 70's and I am still finding places within the forest that I have never been to before. and I hope that you the reader will come to enjoy and love the forest that is my home.

Strongly recommend visiting the forest, just make sure you take a torch if your heading through late afternoon as it gets dark very quickly and visibility is extremely poor, i learnt the hard way!

The Forest of Dean, located on the western edge of Gloucestershire, England is well worth a visit by tourists.There is much to see and do although the area is perhaps let down by a lack of Tourist Information sites except for on-line resources - a major drawback for those who arrive on spec.
-
Numerous forest trails, ideal for both the casual, and the more serious walker, well signed and described, through a wide variety of trees and habitats.

The thing about the forest is that it has atmosphere. Although it appears wild- indeed, it is- it was a centre of industry from pre-Roman times until the end of the 20th. century and the evidence is there, among the trees and wildlife. If walking or industrial archaeology is your thing, the Dean Forest is a "must do"!

Just returned from great half term week in Forest of Dean. Can recommend bike trails from Cannop. Also did a great Bronze navigation award with Black Grouse Tours. Tony Greenacre did a fab job of tailoring the course perfectly for myself and my 11 year old daughter. We both passed and loved the scenery. A very beautiful part of the UK.

Years ago as a Sales Agent this was my patch and recently back here to cycle enjoy the scenery and just love the place once more. Cycling is so good with lots of lovely trails and wonderful to see so many families out, teenagers and some a bit older powering along on their mountain bikes. The screams of fun from Go Ape all makes this a wonderful place. Even though we all seem to be here for the day, it's quiet and quite beautiful. Imagine my delight when a herd of wild deer charged across my path. Come here and charge your batteries. So much more to explore.
