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.
