Forest of Dean Towns and Villages

The Forest of Dean has a rich heritage and culture and its towns are characterful and vibrant bases for exploring:

Coleford is a picturesque and charming market town with a long and rich history. Its centre is compact and walkable with all the amenities and family-friendly attractions to make the town worth a visit in its own right. There are lots of eating out options and independent shops, a deli, several cafes and restaurants, a cinema, countryside walks and a historic clock tower in the centre. It is also home to the Tourist Information Centre, where you can find out more about Coleford and the wider area.

Newent is a thriving market town with bustling independent retailers and a Market Square that includes several historical buildings including the Market House, a structure that dates back to the 13th century. One of the oldest inhabited towns in the Forest of Dean, Newent has been settled since at least Roman times and appeared in the 1086 Domesday Book of William the Conqueror. As well as having a long and rich history, Newent is one of the most picturesque towns in the region, and makes for a great base to explore the Dean Wye.

The historic town of Lydney is situated on the River Severn and houses some of the area’s must see points of interest including a lovely park and historic monuments as well as a harbour with riverside walks, so you could easily spend a day here before venturing outside the area. Thirty pubs, cafes and restaurants cater for locals and visitors and the town has a variety of local shops that offer everything you need for your stay. Finally, it’s also the perfect base for those who prefer to leave the car at home, as the town is connected to the national rail network via Lydney Station, with trains to Newport and Gloucester as well as the Dean Forest Railway for steam train rides deep into the Forest.

An historic market town, Cinderford got its name from the iron ore which was mined and smelted in the area from Norman times. Cinderford continued to rely on mining, especially coal, right up until the 1960s, and its heritage is marked by a statue of a Forest of Dean Freeminer in the town centre. With cafes, shops, a cinema and surrounded by picturesque forest, a 3 mile walking trail takes in many of the town's highlights. On the western edge Linear Park offers forest walks, the attractive Steam Mills Pond and direct access to many walking paths and cycle trails in the Forest of Dean.
