Elton Farm

Fancy a day off from driving? One of the handy aspects of this site is how much is within walking distance: it’ll take you five minutes to stroll to Forest of Dean Adventure Golf or to Elton Giant Mazes for a fun time trying to navigate your way out of one of the huge themed mazes or cross the various obstacles of the Activities Maze. After that, perhaps you’ll want to sit quietly at Elton Carp & Catfish Lakes (10 minutes’ walk) for a while… Having a car is rather handy, however, as it’ll allow you to head off for days of canoeing from Symonds Yat, underground adventures at Clearwell Caves or a magical (and kid-friendly) walk along the trails of Puzzlewood – all are about 20 minutes’ drive away. Also within easy driving distance are days out in Gloucester (25 minutes’ drive) and Cheltenham (half an hour) or a stroll around the imposing medieval fortress Goodrich Castle (25 minutes), known for its spectacular views as much as its well-preserved building
