Oakleigh Campsite

If you’re of the outdoorsy persuasion, this site’s rural locale will be well suited to you indeed: kayaking and fishing are a short walk away from the site down at the River Wye, while climbing, canoeing and paddleboarding are popular pursuits over at Symonds Yat Rock; also stick around here to take in the splendiferous views out over the Wye valley, or bring your binoculars to for a spot of birdwatching there. Other outdoor-based activities in the vicinity include pony trekking in Bream, archery and clay pigeon shooting in St Briavels, and golfing at one (or both) of two courses in Coleford. Take the tiddlers over to the Forest of Dean for clambering and swinging around the high ropes courses over at Go Ape, or adventures around the walking trails and tangled trees of the 14-acre forest of Puzzlewood – they might get rather excited when they find out that this is where bits of screen hits such as Dr Who and Star Wars have been filmed. The historic sights of Hereford cathedral city are an easy 30-minute drive away, and plenty of other heritage spots lie around these parts too, such as the National Trust-managed Berrington Hall, Brockhampton Estate and Croft Castle.
