Enjoying a secluded location with wonderful views across the meadow and towards the traditional village of Bream, this shepherd s hut is simply perfect for a couple wanting to embrace the countryside. A leisurely stroll (0.5 miles) will take you into the centre of the village, well served with a village pub, sports and social club with TV, two convenience stores, a coffee shop, and a fish and chip shop. From here, it is easy to explore the Forest of Dean with plenty to see and do. Take on the cycle trail and explore the sculpture trail, and for the thrill seekers, the downhill courses will test even the experienced mountain bikers. You can also enjoy abseiling and caving at Symonds Yat Rock (14.5 miles), paddleboarding, and a high wire rope course at Mallards Pike (7 miles). Also, within easy access is Puzzle Wood (4 miles), a beautiful woodland now reclaimed by nature, and Clearwell Caves (3 miles) is a great underground experience with nine caverns for you to explore.
