General
- Peaceful site set in the Royal Forest of Dean
- A 20-minute drive from Tintern Abbey and Chepstow Castle
- Less than a mile from two excellent village pubs
Green fields galore + a meandering brook + gently sloping hills = a splendid spot to pitch up. Beanhill Farm may look like a humble enough place, but its location in the Royal Forest of Dean (how posh) puts it firmly into 'tiptop area' territory.
In this secluded corner of Gloucestershire, guests can take in valley views by day and stargazing opportunities overhead by night (a firepit and wood can be arranged to keep you cosy after dusk). The prevailing colour of those views depends on the season: bluebells fill the surrounding woods in spring, while bright yellow rapeseed takes over for a bright backdrop in summer months.
The A48 is less than a mile away, making it easy to plan day trips either side of the Welsh border. The nearest supermarket, in the nearby town of Lydney, is a 10-minute drive away; if you'd rather someone else sorted the eats stroll down into Alvington (20 minutes' stroll) for local food and an ale or two at one of two local pubs.
Barbecues are allowed for open-air cookouts, and you’re welcome to bring your dog along for this rural jaunt. All the essentials – a washing-up area, toilet block and showers – are provided to keep everyday life ticking along.

Local attractions
Outdoorsy types will be spoilt for choice in the Forest of Dean. Offa’s Dyke Path (10 minutes’ drive) straddles the English-Welsh border: following the route down towards the Sedbury Cliffs near Chepstow makes for a particularly pleasant jaunt.
The site is also 10 miles south of the popular Family Cycle Trail, where guests can make a whistle-stop tour of the surrounding countryside. The circular 11-mile route runs through the Cannop Valley, along the old tracks of the Severn and Wye railway (passing through abandoned stations) and passes the remains of former coal mines at Foxes Bridge and Lightmoor. Mallards Pike (20 minutes' drive), where there is a car park, is also home to a Go Ape high ropes course.
If you want to experience greenery with a bit of a twist, head to Puzzlewood (15 minutes) for a maze (as the name suggests), plus farm animals, an adventure playground and an interactive treasure hunt for the kids.
For a proper step back in time, Tintern Abbey (20 minutes' drive) is surely one of the most impressive ruins in Wales. Make a day of it by contrasting its elegant Gothic facade with the sturdy walls of Chepstow Castle (also 20 minutes), built in days of yore to defend the banks of the River Wye.

Sorry it wasn’t for you, there are 2 private signs - 1 on each gate. We are a working farm and have cattle that graze around different parts of the farm. The campsite offers lots of space and lovely views and there are lots of places to walk from the campsite with your dog without upsetting the cattle.
