AMENITIES
At one time, Bream was reputed to be the largest village in Gloucestershire and is situated midway between Lydney and Coleford on the B4231.
The village is built on a ridge of high ground that provides views over the Forest of Dean and in the distance can be seen the hills of the Cotswolds.
The Forest of Dean is close by where in medieval times it was exclusively used as a royal hunting ground for the Tudors, and subsequently a source of food for the royal court. In more recent times has been used as a filming location for the Harry Potter films.
There are an abundance of things to do here including woodland walks, cycle trails, canoeing at Symonds Yak or go beneath the forest floor and explore the 9 underground caverns at Clearwell Caves. Bream has a good range of facilities including primary school, local stores, chemist and coffee shop.
