Cabin 21

Bracelands to the Wye

Meanders through ancient Forest of Dean woodland before descending to dramatic River Wye viewpoints. Terrain varies from gentle forest paths to moderately steep sections near the river gorge—manageable for older children but not buggies. Dogs welcome on leads through woodland areas. The payoff is stunning river scenery and moss-covered stone formations, plus possible glimpses of peregrine falcons along the limestone cliffs. Combine with nearby sculpture trail for a fuller day out.

Highmeadow Trail

Meanders through mixed woodland and open meadows near Gloucester with gentle to moderate inclines throughout. Suitable for families with older children (8+) who can manage uneven forest paths and occasional muddy patches, though not buggy-friendly. Dogs welcome on leads, especially near grazing livestock in meadow sections. Offers peaceful countryside views and seasonal wildflowers, making it ideal for nature spotting away from busy tourist trails.

Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail

Winds through ancient woodland on mostly flat, well-maintained paths with gentle undulations. Perfect for families and accessible for larger all-terrain buggies, though some sections can be muddy after rain. Dogs welcome on leads. Combines easy walking with 18+ intriguing outdoor sculptures dotted along the route—from giant wooden installations to contemporary art pieces—making it brilliant for keeping kids engaged while adults enjoy the beautiful Forest of Dean setting.
