What are the top outdoor activities to do in the Forest of Dean?

The Forest of Dean covers more than 35 square miles of rural Gloucestershire. It’s a mixed woodland that was once a royal hunting ground protected for the king. Now it’s more of a playground offering ample opportunities to get outside and enjoy the fresh air. It's criss-crossed with footpaths, cycle routes and bridleways and, with the beautiful Wye gorge and river on one side, it’s also a great place for taking to the water by kayak or canoe. In short, it’s one of the best places in England for outdoor adventure making camping and glamping the go-to ways to stay.
