Forest of Dean

In the ancient oak wood of the Forest of Dean, dappled sunlight filters through the green canopy of trees which have stood for centuries.

Within its 35 square miles the Forest of Dean has more visitor facilities and events than any other national forest park in Britain, and is home to a huge variety of wildlife.

Choose from eleven forest trails, cycle routes, an arboretum or any of nine areas designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest.

There are more than a thousand sites of industrial archaeology, which provide a fascinating insight into the life of the forest over the centuries.

Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy fishing, riding, caving, rock-climbing and canoeing or a day trip to nearby Tintern Abbey, Bristol, Gloucester or South Wales.

We have three camping & caravanning sites within the Forest of Dean, each with its own distinctive character. Christchurch is a gently sloping grass site; Woodland is a superbly wooded site, with pitches set into the trees; and Bracelands enjoys magnificent views over the rolling countryside.

Reception for all sites is at Christchurch.  On arrival please book in at Reception at the entrance to Christchurch site. 

A £10 cash deposit for a barrier key is required.
