We have five museum galleries, various outside displays, and exciting arts and crafts demonstrations, a visit to the Dean Heritage Centre can last for a few hours. Why not spend the day and bring along a picnic to enjoy or have a bite to eat in The Heritage Coffee Shop?
The museum now houses over 20,000 precious objects and documents relating to the heritage of the Forest of Dean including a working Beam Engine, Sopwith's unique geological model of the Forest, and an extensive collection of 18th Century clocks.
