Tab 3
Said to have inspired the likes of J.R.R.Tolkien, J.K.Rowling and Dennis Potter, "Gloucestershire's greatest natural wonder", the Forest of Dean, is best explored by following The Royal Forest Route, which takes visitors on a 20-mile tour of the spectacular broad-leaf forest.
Springtime is one of the best times of the year to follow this route, when many areas, such as the Soudley Valley are filled with the most spectacular bluebells.
self catering accommodation
A stay in one of the Forest of Dean's choice of self catering accommodation makes for the perfect short break or holiday. Relax and unwind in a luxuriously converted barn or coach house, or spend a romantic time away in a secluded woodland cottage.
There are some great shops and delis within the area, so finding the ingredients for a cosy night dining in will be easy. If you don't fancy cooking, there is often a good pub nearby where you can sample some of the local food and drink, before heading back and curling up in front of a log fire.
