Welcome to the Forest of Dean a genuinely magical place, where you can really get away from it all and enjoy yourself. The Forest of Dean, the 'Queen of Forests', has something for everyone - unique and fascinating heritage, spectacular and varied landscapes, plus warm and friendly hospitality.
This special area became the country's first National Forest Park in 1938 and is England's largest oak forest. Tucked between the rivers Wye, Leadon and Severn in western Gloucestershire, it has always been a place apart, living life in its own way.

In 1984 sculptors were invited to visit the Forest to create inspirational works of art. The result? a three and a half mile sculpture trail through majestic oaks and pines which was opened in 1986. The latest sculpture 'Echo' by Annie Cattell was launched in 2009. The sculpture is cast from 310 million year old rocks - touch it and discover the detail with your fingertips.
