Camping in the Forest certainly know how to run a good campsite; they own over 15 sites across Britain and some of the finest forest land in the country. So, you’re guaranteed a site surrounded by woodland, with well-marked forest walks and cycle routes, scenic forest drives, picnic sites and play areas. It’s also a good bet you’ll have some of Britain’s best-kept countryside on your doorstep.
Bracelands campsite in the Forest of Dean is no exception. The huge camping meadow on the upper slopes of the Wye Valley is surrounded by dense forest on all sides. Even the camping fields are dotted with the occasional copper beech tree. The facilities are faultless. Rows and rows of pristine toilets and showers are arranged in three shower blocks. Of course, there’s a genuine need for all these facilities with 520 pitches and up to 2000 visitors to cater for.
An easy walk through the forest delivers you at the banks of the Wye River, which is passable via the suspension bridge at Bilblins, or stay on this side for a delightful walk to Symonds Yat. On the Forest Of Dean Sculpture Trail you’ll discover trees interspersed with sculptures and works of art; a thoroughly enjoyable 3½-mile stroll through the landlord’s extensive acreage.
