We are an ideal base for Geocaching in the Wye Valley and Forest of Dean - in fact there is a geocache just up the lane from us.
Come and enjoy the many walks straight from our door into the Wye Valley or Forest of Dean. Or visit the castles, abbeys and historic border towns that are near us.
Bath, Brecon, Bristol, Cardiff, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Ledbury, Ross-on-Wye and Hereford are all less than an hour away.
Hay on Wye, Birmingham, Ludlow, Oxford and Stratford upon Avon are easily reached for a day's outing.
But there is no need to travel very far - you will find that there is a lot to do close to Steep Meadow both in the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley and you can have a very relaxing break or a more strenuous one depending on your inclination!
