Feel the Love Romantic Trail

Looking to plan a special getaway with your someone special? Whether it’s Valentine’s Day or just a well-earned weekend away, our Romantic Trail is packed with ideas to help you enjoy the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley with the one you love.

This self-guided trail showcases some of the most charming, unique, and love-filled spots across the region - from sunset strolls and stargazing hills, to historic castles, magical woodland walks, and cosy tea rooms perfect for a slice of cake and a quiet moment together.

Whether you’re picnicking on May Hill, sharing a bottle of wine at the vineyard, hiring a tandem bike, or getting steamy aboard a heritage railway, this is your chance to create memories out of the ordinary and at your own pace. From gentle riverside wanders and duck-watching at Cannop Ponds to full-on Tarzan and Jane action at Go Ape, there’s something for every couple to enjoy.

So grab the hand of your favourite person and start planning your next romantic escape in the Dean Wye.
