The Forest of Dean in the Wye Valley is an ancient forest that was once the hunting grounds of King Henry V (born in nearby Monmouth) where he honed the skills that enabled his army to win the historic battle against the French at Agincourt. This is also where William Wordsworth walked and conceived of poetry that has been loved by generations.
