OVERVIEW

In 1938 the Forest became England's first National Forest Park, today the forest covers approximately 24,000 acres. Mining has been carried out within the Forest of Dean's boundaries for over 2500 years, as its rocks were rich in ores, coal and building stone, which explains the many disused railway paths.

The signage is being changed and many of the yellow GW markers and blue and white markers are gone! Being replaced by other signage. Hence I got lost a couple times and actually did an additional mile. The start of run on Speech house side is very hard to find as marker post is completely 'lost' in dense fern growth. However beautiful run- very pretty and will definitely run again next week- as i know where i'm going now. Lost quite a bit of time trying to find signs that the forestry have removed!
