Wildlife Adventures in the Forest of Dean & Wye Valley
The Forest of Dean is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. While it lacks traditional wildlife parks, the area is home to a wealth of natural wildlife.
Spot wild boar and herds of deer roaming freely throughout the forest, and keep an eye out for goshawks, which can be seen across the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley. For a spectacular birdwatching experience, visit Symonds Yat Rock, where peregrine falcons nest on the cliffs. For a more hands-on encounter, the Wye Valley Butterfly Zoo offers a vibrant display of exotic butterflies.
Explore and Enjoy the Forest of Dean!
