Where to go

Campers can forest bathe in the tranquillity of nature within the ancient Forest of Dean—the first National Forest Park. Set up camp in one of the Forestry England Camping sites in spacious pitches with electric hookups, clean facilities, and showers. Dog-friendly glamping pods are also available in the forest. Then, embark on scenic hiking trails like the Sculpture Trail, where art installations blend seamlessly with nature.

Symonds Yat Rock

For incredible vistas, head to Symonds Yat Rock—an iconic viewpoint that overlooks River Wye and its meandering valley. Hike to Biblins Bridge and try a hand at orienteering, or trek to the rock's summit via Symonds Yat Rock Trail to see stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Birdwatching at this spot is exceptional, with a designated Peregrine viewpoint providing opportunities to witness the majestic birds in flight. Choose from nearby family-run campsites and holiday parks along the main trails with essential amenities like electric hookups, clean toilets, and hot showers.
