Forest/Full Circle - Forest (Folk)

Queen of the Forests

Advantages: Gorgeous location, so much to see and do
Disadvantages: None!

I've lived in the Forest of Dean my whole life (nearly 33 years) and completely taken it for granted! It's really only been in the last few years, since we had our son, that we have started to enjoy our home, with it's breathtaking scenery, abundance of family activities and friendly atmposphere, so I thought I would share it all with you. Brace yourselves, it's a long one! Here comes the history bit! The Forest of Dean was firstly recognised by the Saxons and covers 110 square kilometers or 27000 acres of woodland. It is one of the few remaining Royal forests left in England and has a rich history as a favourite hunting ground for many of our historical kings. The vast amount of woodland is home to many animals and birds, but Forest pride is mainly given to the beautiful fallow deer. There are about 400 here, of which ...

Review of The Forest of Dean

Circle Clear

Advantages: Easy to use, fast effects which can be seen with in a matter of days
Disadvantages: none

I have had this problem with my eyes now for years and years and never knew that there were products that existed for this. I would have just suffered from this problem for the rest of my life until i was told about this by one of my friends. i have been using this product now for 3 weeks twice a day once in the morning and once in the evening. It is so easy to apply, you just use your little finger to dab it on around and under your eyes until it has been absorbed. I actually noticed a small difference after the first day and was so impressed that now after 3 weeks they have all but gone. This is a problem many people have and i would highly recommend this product to anyone who suffers from dark circles under there eyes. ...

Review of Skin Doctors Eye Circle

I saw some Monkey Business in the Forest!

Advantages: Fascinating to watch monkeys at close quarters
Disadvantages: Poorly designed facilities, cafe expensive, not a whole day's experience

it would be a case of trying to spot them as they lurked behind the branches. I was genuinely shocked when we came across about ten small monkeys sitting in the middle of a grassed area just a few metres away from where we stood, completely unperturbed by their human visitors. It was even more of a surprise when the monkeys started (play) fighting amongst themselves and a group of them went racing across the path almost knocking my little boy over! We now know what to expect and whilst I initially felt that this wouldn't necessarily be a place that you would want to go back to, we do tend to go back once every year or so and always find it an enjoyable experience which the adults enjoy as much as the kids seem to. I'm deliberately avoiding using the phrase 'day out' as the time you'll spend at the forest itself is definitely not a full ...
