Cycling and Walking

For Walkers we provide the following:

    •    First Aid Kits
    •    Boot scrapers near front door
    •    An outside tap
    •    Information on local outdoor activity shops
    •    General information and information on local walks provided to guests

“Cinderford Walks”, an illustrated guide to walks in the Forest of Dean, forms part of our library and is an indispensible  manual for the walker. It lists eleven walks ranging from the easy to the strenuous, lasting from 30 minutes to two hours.  Some of the walks abut the farm, so it is clearly possible to leave your transport here and explore the trails on foot.  Other reading matter will help you identify the forest’s indigenous species.


For cyclists we do the following:


    •    Secure covered cycle area
    •    An outdoor tap
    •    Cycle repairs kits and compressed air on hand
    •    First Aid Kits
    •    Information on Forest cycle routes
    •    Information on cycle outlets and hire shops
    •    General local information is already provided to guests. 

The local Forestry Commission site at Beechenhurst lies at the heart of the network of disused railway tracks that form the eleven mile long forest Cycle Trail.  It provides refreshments and WCs en route.  You may hire a bike at “Pedalabikeaway”, just off the Cycle Trail itself.  Their website at www.zen95975.zen.co.uk/, has lots more information on the trail as well as a link to a useful pdf document. You could also try www.sustrans.org.uk.
