For a winter walk, you will be spoilt for choice – if you want to enjoy the most stunning views of Gloucestershire and the surrounding counties, head to the summit of May Hill. To enjoy the calm and tranquillity of the ancient forest, Soudley ponds is perfect – take some seed for the local ducks and enjoy a frosty walk in this beautiful part of the Forest.

If you have a rainy day, don’t despair, there are still plenty of places in the Forest you can enjoy. The Dean Heritage Centre is great for all the family – you can learn the fascinating history of this area, as well as going in a real Victorian classroom, and heading down a mine! Go underground at Clearwell caves to see the world underneath the trees.
