Description Covers the Royal Forest of Dean, Wye Valley, Severn Valley and the Vale of Leadon in the English Counties of Gloucestershire and Herefordshire in England and Monmouth and Chepstow areas of Wales.
The ancient Royal Forest lies at the very heart of the district with the market towns of Coleford and Cinderford offering an insight into the industrial heritage and history of this fascinating area.
The Wye Valley is an area of outstanding natural beauty and forms the western border of the Forest, separating England from Wales. This unique area offers endless opportunities for outdoor activities such as canoeing and fishing on what is perhaps Britain's most un spoilt major river.
