Walking trails at Beechenhurst
Explore Beechenhurst on the waymarked trails or smaller paths that criss-cross the forest. Take the Ramblers Beechenhurst trail for a challenging walk, venture beyond Beechenhurst on the Speech House Link trail or discover a unique range of artwork along the Sculpture trail.

The Forest of Dean Sculpture trail
Founded in 1986, the sculpture trail is a partnership between Forestry England and the Forest of Dean Sculpture Trust. Some of the sculptures are temporary, while others will last for years. They have all been designed to evolve over time as the forest changes around them. Over the years, artists at all stages of their careers have been invited to create artworks for this unique context.

Beechenhurst play area
The play area at Beechenhurst has a host of wooden play equipment for your kids to enjoy. There is a separate area specially made for toddlers. In 2022 we welcomed a brand new zip line, nest swing and mining-themed climbing frame. Picnic tables are available, including mini versions for the children. Please leave dogs outside of the play area and always shut the gates. Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
