Forest of Dean Beechenhurst Reviews

We visited today and what an amazing place. The staff were so lovely especially the one instructor that helped me across a part I struggled with. He was very patient with me and very reassuring. Exceptional service he definitely made me feel safe. He also was very supportive and made me not give up. Thank you ☺️

Absolutely brilliant time doing the Treetop Adventure at Beechenhurst. All of the instructors were great, from beginning to end, but a special mention to Sam who very diligently operated the brake line on the zip wires for my son’s benefit and (I think) Sophia who gave instruction and encouragement at one point from the ground, thereby persuading my boy to complete a particularly challenging section of the course when he felt he wanted to turn back.

Go Ape at the Forest of Dean was such a thrilling experience! Alice & I did the full four courses on the treetop adventure and wow what a buzz! It’s great to feel alive when you get to do something out of your comfort zone! All the staff were incredibly helpful and had a well thought out system, everything ran so smoothly.

Yes well-behaved dogs are welcome on-site, we ask they are kept on leads. Please note that dogs are not able to join you on the course and need a spectator to look after them. Surrounding areas may have dog restrictions (such as the cafe or play area).

There are six accessible parking places close to the main building via a sloped tarmac access ramp. Another 10 parking places are in the smaller front car park which is level, but further from the building. Our site is in the forest so the terrain is uneven including tree roots in places, but the space is open and you can navigate under our course with ease. If you have any specific accessibility requirements please contact us ahead of your visit so we can help. You can also find more information on Forestry England's website.

Yes, parking is available within Beechenhurst Lodge site. There is plenty of parking to choose from, there are three card/contactless only pay machines on site.
