Above: Echo the newest Sculpture on the trail with artist Annie Cattrell far right.

The walk takes place entirely in woodland and starts at the Beechenhurst picnic area, near the Speech House, in the heart of the Forest of Dean. A sample from the diagram that comes with the guide is shown opposite - but we recommend that you also buy the official route Map from 'Forest Connections' at Beechenhurst Lodge.

Car parking is available at the start for a small fee. Wear sturdy shoes and enjoy the beautiful forest tracks.

At Beechenhurst Lodge, Toilet facilities and water are available, Food and Drinks are on offer at the Gavellers Cafe, Advice and Gifts can be had at Forest Connections.
