Work has started today on building our brand new, all-ability access trail at Beechenhurst. We won't let a bit of snow stop us! ❄️

We are working on an exciting new project to improve our accessibility, and so lots of work will be happening over the next few months. This includes building a new trail, and a new unit which will contain our Changing Places toilet facility and all-terrain mobility scooter hire.

Beechenhurst will remain open as usual, you're still welcome to visit whilst work is taking place. Just make sure you pay attention to any safety signage.

Northern Light show in the garden, with the owls providing my sound track. The owls sounded almost as impressed as I was. So chuffed to be able to see some of the lights with the naked eye too.

As autumn arrives, we pretty up the porch with pumpkins. (So far we have an array of small squash but they look so pretty.)

There are several “Scowles” locally and fascinating to visit. They are often used by film companies - I can understand why. I didn’t realise they were unique to The Forest of Fean though - see what Wiki says!

Scowles are landscape features that range from amorphous shallow pits to irregular labyrinthine hollows up to several metres deep[1] and are possibly unique to the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, England.[2]

Love walks in the Forest of Dean

If you are planning to enjoy some walking during your stay, this link listing some local circular walks might offer some inspiration.

With acres of ancient forest and a stunning winding river valley, walking is of course one of the most popular outdoor activities in the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley and there are plenty of options…
