The Forest of Dean is one of England’s largest ancient forests, shaped by centuries of history, industry and natural beauty. Once a medieval royal hunting ground, it later became a vital source of timber for the navy’s Tudor warships. By the Victorian era, the area had transformed again; this time into a thriving industrial landscape of coal mines, ironworks and tramways whose traces still lie hidden among the trees. Designated the first National Forest Park in 1938, the Forest of Dean has since become a much‑loved destination for visitors seeking woodland adventures, heritage, and wildlife. Today, it remains a working forest, producing sustainable British timber while supporting a rich mosaic of habitats. Its vast woodlands, open glades and rugged valleys are home to an extraordinary diversity of wildlife. Whether you’re here to walk, cycle, discover nature, or uncover the remnants of its industrial past, a great day out awaits in the Forest of Dean.
