About The Forest of Dean

Named England’s first National Forest Park in 1938, the Forest of Dean is the country’s oldest oak woodland, stretching across Gloucestershire and along the River Wye. Originally a medieval hunting ground for Henry VIII, the forest boasts a rich and varied history, sourcing timber for Tudor warships and housing iron and coal mines in Victorian times. Today, the forest is back to its natural state, a lush and peaceful adventure...
