While the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley is a fantastic place to get out into nature and enjoy the outdoors, it is also a great place for a shopping trip! We have high streets full of shops, alongside many wonderful independent retailers, craft centres, markets, and local food and drink producers, and they are all ready to tempt you to a bit of retail therapy!
There are an impressive number of small independent shops nestled throughout the area, and you will be met with a friendly and personal service. The market towns and picturesque villages of the Dean Wye have a unique character and charm, and are home to plenty of local shops, farm shops, and cafes. There are butchers, bakers, traditional sweet shops, and book shops, as well as several delicatessens offering a range of local produce, and some even offer delivery!
The area's craft centres are also great places to spend a few hours, and they can provide lots of ideas for unique gifts and souvenirs, as well as the opportunity to learn a new craft at one of the many workshop sessions that are available; at Taurus Crafts, you'll find a huge range of crafts, antiques, and goodies. You can also find a variety of art galleries, all showcasing our wonderful local painters and sculptors, and even local cider shops!
If you prefer to shop from the comfort of home, make sure that you take a look at our online gift guide, which contains a huge variety of local businesses who sell their products and services online: experience days, gift sets, crafts, paintings or pottery, and food and drink hampers! There's lots to choose from, perfect for a gift for a loved one or as a treat for yourself to remind you of your visit to the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley, and always a great way of supporting local businesses and shopping local!
