This annual brochure is designed to showcase the range of outdoors adventure and leisure activities in the Forest of Dean and is an ideal way for activity providers to reach out to potential visitors to the area.

Eating Out Guide
A new eating out guide is being produced in 2007 in conjunction with the Wye Valley & Forest of Dean Tourism Association, to promote the range of restaurants, cafes, inns and tea rooms within the Forest of Dean.
