The stunning scenery and landscapes of the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley has long been an inspirational place to many writers, artists, poets and craftspeople and the arts and crafts scene in the area is vibrant and diverse, from potters to jewellers, weavers to painters, musicians to photographers.
