Dean Forest Cycles & Café

Highlight • Rest Area

Nice shop and cafe with some parking. They carry a good range of gear in the shop and you can end up coming out with more than expected.

Staff are very friendly and the cafe is great with nice coffee and a good selection of delicious cakes.

Sometimes overlooked is the seating at the back of the cafe. Only small but nice place to enjoy your coffee and cake.

Some excellent trails nearby 👍

Kerne Bridge over the River Wye

Highlight • Viewpoint

Quite a local landmark hereabouts, especially if you are on the river. An ancient crossing point that has been about in one way or another since roman times. An important bridge connection on the Wye that at one stage was tolled. Failure to pay the toll made you liable to a £5 fine. Some things have never changed!

Pedalabikeaway Café & Bike Shop

Highlight • Cycleway

Great bike shop and cafe. Super yummy food and good coffee. What more could you want? There is an outside cafe that serves pizza and coffee to go in the summer which is pretty awesome. In the winter there is a lovely fire inside the cafe to keep you warm.
