Local activities

There is an abundance of things to do in the area and some fabulous places to visit.

The village of Woolaston has two pubs and a restaurant within walking distance of the cottage. The petrol station in the next village has a well stocked shop and off-licence and there are supermarkets and other shops just a few minutes drive away in Lydney, the nearest town, and in the lovely welsh border town of Chepstow (the beautiful castle here is a must-see).

A twenty-minute drive will take you to the internationally famous viewing point at Symonds Yat Rock, one of the best views in the UK. Take in the grandeur of Tintern Abbey on a drive along the beautiful Wye Valley en route to the market town of Monmouth.

For walkers, the Gloucestershire Way and Offas Dyke are ten minutes away. The Sculpture Trail at Speech House is also nearby.

There is fantastic mountain biking in the Forest of Dean and we can offer a guided ride with a qualified mountain bike instructor; please contact us for details. Cycle-washing facilities and secure storage are available.

For the fishing enthusiast, we are next-door to superb trout fishing lakes at Woolaston Court. Please visit www.woolastoncourt.co.uk for details.

For keen golfers there are seven courses in the Forest of Dean and eighteen across the Wye Valley and the Vale of Usk, including The Celtic Manor Resort, which will host the 2010 Ryder Cup.

For water lovers there are several leisure centres close to hand and the National Diving Centre is a short drive.
