Forest of Dean



The Forest of Dean is a geographical, historical and cultural region in the western part of the county of Gloucestershire, South West England. The forest is a roughly triangular plateau bounded by the River Wye to the west and north, the River Severn to the south, and the City of Gloucester to the east.

The area is characterised by over 110 square kilometers (42.5 sq mi) of mixed woodland, one of the surviving ancient woodlands in England.
