Around Green Bottom

Green Bottom in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire is a small hamlet in a rural setting with easy access to motorways and many cities and beauty spots: we liked the area so much, we bought the cottage which is available as a holiday let! The Forest of Dean is itself a retreat from modern life and the hamlet of Green Bottom is a retreat within a retreat - so an ideal holiday spot.

The area around Green Bottom

is wooded: Green bottom is essentially a clearing within the eastern edge of the Forest of Dean. So there are local walks straight from the cottage where you can walk your pets or, if you fancy a longer walk from the cottage there is plenty of choice without getting the car out! There are footpaths through the forestand footpaths through the fields towards the river Severn.
