Stargazer Glamping

This part of the world is a wonderful one for outdoorsy activities, just outside the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and with the Forest of Dean, the Malvern Hills and the Brecon Beacons National Park not far off either. That puts you within easy reach of lots of hikes and fishing spots, plus kayak outings from Symonds Yat (15 minutes’ drive) and the chance to swing through the trees at Go Ape Beechenhurst (20 minutes). Puzzle Wood (25 minutes) is a good choice if you’re trying to get the kids enthused by the wonders of the countryside. For other days out, you may like to visit te black-and-white houses of Hereford (half an hour), take a tour of Goodrich Castle (20 minutes), take a walk with the cute inhabitants of Briery Hill Llamas (10 minutes) or look out for the pretty residents of Wye Valley Butterfly Zoo (15 minutes).
