Welcome to the 'Queen of Forests' one of England's few remaining ancient forests covering over 110 square kilometres of woodland.

The Forest of Dean lies in the western part of Gloucestershire , between the rivers Wye and Severn and on the borders of Wales and Herefordshire . It is one of the most distinctive areas of Britain, having a seductive charm and character that is uniquely its own. Its range of stunning landscapes and spectacular scenery has inspired artists, craftspeople, inventors, poets and playwrights, as well as the many visitors who return to the area year after year.

The Forest of Dean has a wealth of places to visit throughout the district. There is something to suit all tastes and ages, whatever the weather. So don't miss the opportunity to discover more about this fascinating landscape and culture, with a visit to some of the many attractions in the area.

With 27,000 acres of ancient woodland, hundreds of kilometres of off-road cycling, walking trails and riding paths, plus one of the country's most unspoilt rivers, all set within spectacular scenery, the Royal Forest of Dean is the perfect adventure playground, whatever the weather.

The Royal Forest of Dean is a truly inspirational place where creativity flourishes. The magical environment of the Forest has nurtured poets, potters and painters, and has been the inspiration for many writers of international renown such as JK Rowling , JRR Tolkien and Dennis Potter .
