The Forest of Dean Walking Map

The Forest of Dean, nestled between the Cotswolds and the Black Mountains, invites exploration. Its ancient woodlands, once hunted by William the Conqueror, now offer a patchwork of diverse trees, open spaces, and waterways. Symonds Yat, with its breathtaking views of the Wye Valley, stands out. As morning mist weaves through the trees, watch for elusive creatures like wild boars and peregrine falcons. Whether you wander along old tramways or discover hidden ponds, the forest’s ever-changing landscape promises adventure at every turn.
