Forest Of Dean

The Forest of Dean is a perfect place to observe the changing colours of Autumn with its broad mix of deciduous trees against a backdrop of evergreens. The Cannop Valley hosts the prime area of oak woodland with its waymarked walks passing underneath the turning leaves. Mallards Pike Lake and Soudley Ponds provide pleasant short walks where the colour changes are reflected in the still waters.

Coleford, Monmouth, Ross-On-Wye, Cinderford, and Lydney are the nearest towns or villages.
