Beechenhurst lies in the heart of the forest, and is a great place to start your adventure in the Forest of Dean. Beechenhurst is the starting point for the famous Sculpture Trail, there are additional waymarked walks of varying lengths beginning from the site, and for visitors bringing their own bikes to the forest, Beechenhurst is an ideal start point for the Family Cycle Trail. Adventurous visitors can enjoy the junior version of Go Ape which is aimed at 6-12 year olds. The course can be found at the edge of the main car park. The onsite climbing tower is an exciting way to let off steam! 36 routes from easy to extreme and 2 vertical abseils. Great for children and adults, friends, families and group bookings. Check the Forest of Dean Adventure website for opening times. Archery sessions can also be booked. Beechenhurst cafe serves food from 8.30am everyday. The menu encompasses locally sourced food with a variety of specials and childrens meals available

The views from the platform are fantastic and if you visit at the right time the RSPB are there with telescopes so you can view the birds of prey by the river, Great walks around the area as well.

Attracted to the name (family name) we ventured forth. Very accessible, with free parking at entrance. Lovely level paths through trees, too big for us to explore in time available, plan to return.
5. Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 582 reviews
The Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail is a unique outdoor collection of 17 sculptures. We are open all year round, dawn til dusk, and entry is free of charge. The sculptures on the Trail are funded and commissioned by a registered charity. The route is 4.5 miles long, and is sited in the beautiful Wye Valley region. A map is available for sale at Beechenhurst Cafe at the start of the Trail. Dogs are welcomed on the trail but we recommend keeping them on a lead.
