About Coleford

Coleford serves as the unofficial capital of the Forest of Dean, perfectly positioned for exploring this unique ancient woodland. The A4136 connects it east to the A40 for Gloucester and west to Monmouth, whilst the B4228 heads north through the forest to Ross-on-Wye. With around 40 EV charging points scattered across the area, it's well-equipped for modern touring. The Dean Forest Railway runs heritage steam services from the town's beautifully restored Victorian station.
