Popular for short stop-overs, leaders retreats, uniformed groups, Duke of Edinburgh expeditions, outdoor education and wellbeing days, the Orchard offers a wild yet intimate space where you are surrounded by trees and feel wonderfully close to nature. With direct access to the Forest of Dean from our site and the sound of birdsong, there is plenty to explore and experience in this wild yet intimate space. Small groups can pitch their own 1/2 berth tents with sole occupancy of the area and test their survival skills as there is only a cold water tap, a compost toilet and a firepit. No shower/wash facilities, no electric hookup and a poor mobile phone signal – it’s as off grid as you can get!
