Holiday Cottages in Coleford

The market town of Coleford is a great place to stay if you’re planning a short break near the Forest of Dean or the Wye Valley. Once the birthplace of the modern steel industry, remnants of the mines, furnaces and ironworks still exist — although many have since been absorbed back into the forest landscape. Want to explore the local countryside? There’s a seven-mile route circling the town which can be enjoyed on foot or bicycle. Read more
