To hire bikes contact www.pedalaway.co.uk they are based in the Royal Forest of Dean close to the sculpture trail and also in Monmouth. The Monmouth trail follows the river Wye to Symonds Yat. It’s quite easy to spend a day at Symonds Yat as there is a maze to explore, a boat for trips down the river, the famous Yat Rock and perigrine falcons and Herefordshire’s most famous view, plus some really good pubs to quench your thirst or lunch by the river. The Forest of Dean has many interesting tracks and and is suitable for all ages and abilities.

www.geocaching.com is brilliant if you need to entertain the children and an incentive to get out in the fresh air away from the cosy wood burner( all the better when you come back). It involves tracking down hidden boxes around the countryside and adding your name to the book inside and perhaps exchanging a small gift. There are a few within 5 miles of our postcode and some you can walk from Little Gaerfields to find.

www.walk4life.info is a way of planning walks or jogging before the holiday.

A gentle stroll out of the farmyard and turning first right at every juntion will bring you back to Little Gaerfields ( about 1 mile)

For a longer walk or jog turn left out of the farmyard and then turn right at every road juntion will bring you back  home. ( 6 miles)

There are  books and maps in Little Gaerfields for you to use or you can checkout the walk4life web site and be able to plan walks and mileage before arrival.

Famous walks in Herefordshire are Offa’ Dyke, The Herefordshire Trail, The Wye Valley walk, The Blosssom Trail, The Daffiodil walk.
