Nagshead Nature Reserve Nature Trail


(Average user rating5 unrated 5/5)

About Nagshead Nature Reserve Nature Trail

You can follow two marked nature trails, both of which start and finish at the car park and education centre. A trail guide is avaiable from the visitor centre. You are welcome to walk other woodland rides and tracks on the reserve but you are advised to use a local Ordnance Survey map.

How to get there:

Nagshead Nature Reserve Nature Trail can be started from Nagshead Nature Reserve in Forest Of Dean. Coleford is the nearest town or village.

From Coleford, follow the B4431 towards Parkend. Just before Parkend village, the Reserve is signposted to the left, accessed along a forest road.

Wonderful little, out-of-the-way reserve. Great facilities for its size.
