The thriving village of Mitcheldean, with its old timbered houses and narrow streets is situated close to the magnificent Royal Forest of Dean, England's largest oak forest and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The forest offers numerous trails that can be explored on foot, by bicycle or by horseback. Caving, abseiling and a high wire rope course are on offer for the more adventurous, whilst fishing, golf, kayaking and canoeing are other popular activities in this unspoilt area. Just a short drive away, in the historic waterfront city of Gloucester, you will find Roman foundations, Victorian Docklands and a spectacular Norman Cathedral (whose cloisters were used as a location in the Harry Potter films). Also within easy reach are the historic market town of Ross-on-Wye, in the heart of rural Herefordshire, boasting timbered Tudor houses and excellent shops, pubs and restaurants, and The Severn Estuary, famous for its tidal bore, which is a delight for birdwatchers, wildlife enthusiasts and bore surfers alike. This unspoilt area has something to offer everyone at any time of the year.

Previous visitors' comments about Brookbank Folly:
Brookbank Folly is unique and a credit to the creative genius who built it from locally-sourced materials. The owners were friendly and welcoming but not at all intrusive. It is full of character, warm, quiet and perfect for two people to enjoy a peaceful rest from the world. The Forest of Dean with its excellent walks and cycle trails is easily accessible from the cottage and we also visited Hereford and the Waterways Museum at Gloucester.

It was just what we wanted. Contact with the owners was excellent. We really enjoyed it!
Mr Brewer, Stafford, February 2012
The cottage was so comfortable and cosy, quirky and different. The owners were very welcoming and left us a welcome pack. The surrounding area was lovely, the Forest of Dean delivered a wonderful walk with hooting owls at night.
Miss Robinson, Manchester, January 2012
Brookbank Folly was exactly as
described and more. The welcome that
we received from the owners and the breakfast pack was lovely, we will be returning without a doubt. We had a relaxing weekend and enjoyed our afternoon walk in the forest. Thank you very much!
