Wye Valley and Forest of Dean

Breakfast on local apple juice and pastries with a riverside breakfast spread on the Wye. Pick this up at Truffles Deli in Ross-on-Wye packed with local produce including Herefordshire crisps with compostable packaging, gin, homemade cakes, pastries and quiches. Six miles downriver (15 mins in the car) and The Saracens Head is an idyllic pub right on the river perfect for a pint, fish and chips and refuelling before the climb up to Symonds Yat Rock. Gin lovers might want to book onto a Gin Experience and learn how to blend their own gin at Foxtail Distillery a few miles away and just outside Ross. Your bed for the night whether you choose a hotel room or glamping is less than ten minutes’ drive. At Brooks Country House you can drink wine from their vineyard and eat a Herefordshire steak before bed while, happy glampers will relish Mad Dogs & Vintage Vans with their ‘Van Service’ where home-cooked meals (curries, chillies and crumbles) are hand delivered.
