In the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley

    Whether you're seeking adrenaline-fuelled adventure or a peaceful escape, the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley offers an incredible range of activities and experiences to suit all interests and abilities. With its dramatic landscapes, ancient woodlands, and winding rivers, this is the ultimate outdoor playground, packed with opportunities to explore, unwind, or try something new.

    For thrill-seekers, the region is home to high ropes courses, rock climbing, off-road driving, and paintballing, as well as canoeing, kayaking, and paddleboarding along the stunning River Wye. Cyclists and mountain bikers can tackle dedicated trails, while those who love heights can swing through the trees on a high ropes course.

    If you prefer a slower pace, you could try wildlife experiences such as falconry or llama trekking, or join a foraging walk to discover the region’s natural larder.

Meanwhile, arts and crafts enthusiasts can enjoy activities like pottery, mosaics, and traditional woodland crafts.
