"don't go to the forest of dean in your wheelchair Steve ! It'll be a nightmare and you'll get STUCK!.... the forest isn't for disabled people!" ..... So Happy I didn't listen to that... it was amazing !
Everywhere we went on that day was completely accessible for my wheelchair :)
we used to come here lots before my illness and disability. I never thought I'd ever be able to go again :( Even managed to stretch my legs a bit !
Thank you so much new Powerchair! Truly life changing for me :)

The Forest of Dean is a geographical, historical and cultural region in the western part of the county of Gloucestershire, England.

The ancient Royal Forest lies at the very heart of the district with the market towns of Coleford and Cinderford offering an insight into the industrial heritage and history of this fascinating area.

The Forest of Dean was originally designated by the Saxons for hunting. They were the first people to realise its potential. Thereafter it became the hunting reserve of Kings for many hundreds of years to follow. Many of the Dean’s ancient rights and privileges come from its unique heritage as a Royal Hunting Forest. The Norman kings loved to hunt deer and wild boar and they introduced Forest Law and officials called Verderers who were charged with looking after the animals and the woods they lived in.

The Forest of Dean is one of the most fascinating regions of Britain nestling between the Wye Valley, the Vale of Leadon and the Severn Vale. Its relative isolation created by the valleys of two great tidal rivers, the Severn "known widely for the Severn Bore" and the Wye, together with its hilly terrain have helped preserve a pattern of land use, culture and heritage unlike anywhere else in the whole of England. The Royal Forest occupies an area of 204 square miles in the western part of Gloucestershire. The 20 million trees that cover the Royal Forest of Dean include oak, beech, ash, birch and holly trees. People who live in and around the Forest are known as Foresters. The areas name is derived from one of the primeval forests of England. In 1939 the woodland area became the first park in England to be designated as a national forest. One of the remaining Royal Forests in England.
