- Things To Do
With outdoor adventures, unique attractions, rich heritage, and unforgettable experiences, the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley is a destination full of things to see and do. Whether you’re here for thrills, tranquillity, history, or family fun, there’s something for everyone.
Explore the region on foot or by bike, following waymarked trails through beautiful woodland and scenic river valleys. The River Wye is one of the best in the country for canoeing, kayaking, and stand up paddleboarding (SUP), offering a unique perspective of the landscape. If you're after an adrenaline rush, tackle a high ropes course, off-road driving, or mountain biking trails.
For those who love history and culture, step inside medieval castles, historic churches, and fascinating museums that tell the story of the region. Rainy days are no problem either, with plenty to explore underground in caves and mines, or you can enjoy a scenic steam train journey through the forest.
Families will find plenty of attractions to keep all ages entertained, from wildlife parks and adventure playgrounds to immersive arts and crafts experiences. For a slower pace, wellbeing activities, food and drink tastings, and creative workshops offer the perfect way to unwind.
Whether you come for the trees, the rivers, the culture, the fun, the miles of footpaths or cycle tracks or just to find your freedom in our little slice of paradise, we look forward to welcoming you here soon.
