If you head further afield, you will find the magnificent river Wye where you can walk along the Wye’s peaceful riverside walks with the dog, or take to the water for a spot of wild swimming or canoeing.
There are plenty of pretty spots to stop for picnics or to grab a bit to eat in a pub or café.
The Forest of Dean is an area of ancient woodland with many off-road, quiet forestry tracks – a real treat for walkers, cyclists and explorers of all ages. From the Sculpture Trail and Family Cycle Trail, to Puzzlewood, Clearwell Caves, and the Dean Forest Railway.
This area is also home to an amazing array of artisan food producers and local crafts people.
Visit the local tourist information website for great ideas of things to do during your stay.
If you are coming down the M50 you will likely get off on the A40. Once on the A40 do not get off at Goodrich or Symonds Yat – the roads are narrow and windy and not at all suitable for caravans or campervans! It is better to travel on down to Monmouth and take the A4136 towards Staunton and Coleford. Do not be tempted to follow satnav along the A466. The A4136 will take you through the village of Staunton and then you will see a turning right towards Coleford – the B4228. Take that turning right and travel about half a mile and you will come to a crossroads where again, you need to turn right into Scowles Road. We are half a mile down Scowles Road.
From the M5 and M4 you will come over the old Severn Bridge M48 towards Chepstow and pick up the A48 to Lydney. In Lydney you get the B4231 and stay on that road until you come to the junction with the B4228 – turn right and travel through the town of Coleford – you will pass 2 sets of traffic lights and once you have left Coleford you will come to the same crossroads mentioned above but this time turn left down Scowles Road.
Most SatNavs bring you right here.
