I was born in Gloucestershire and I am constantly amazed how lucky I was to grow up here. There is so much to do, you could spend weeks exploring everything from the Forest of Dean to major landmarks to great shopping and perfect family days out! It would make a brilliant weeks holiday for sure! You’d probably need more! I have listed all the places I can think of that are day trips or activities within approx an hours drive of our house. I’ve also included places that my guests have visited. Please get in touch for further information.

This is magical at Christmas. Truly. There are 100’s of presents wrapped up in the caves all with names. My children loved trying to find “their” present. Lovely cafe and beautiful illuminated story all down in the caves, plus Santa in his grotto.
