There are lots of books and DVDs for your use.

Additional Information

Although situated on the edge of the village of Yorkley with approx 300 people, The Old Chapel is situated up a small lane, you actually feel 'on your own'. The lane has just 3 houses in it, we are the 3rd of 4, and then nothing but woodland.

The village of Yorkley has 2 pubs, both within walking distance. The nearest pub needed renovation 40 years ago, but other than that, serves very good pub grub. Sunday lunch comprises meat and 8 veg and 12 home-made puddings!

The other pub in the village serves organic food only, but of the pasta/pizza variety. There are usually two or three live entertainment sessions going on there weekly.

The village also has two convenience stores, a post office and medical centre.

A 20 minute drive takes you the beautiful Wye Valley. In early May each year there is an abundance of bluebells.
Tourist attractions include: Puzzlewood, Clearwell Caves, Tintern Abbey, the Wye Valley, the Dean Heritage Centre, the Sculpture Trail, Nagshead Nature Reserve, Perrygrove steam railway, Severn Bore, Symmonds Yat and the Shambles Victorian Village.

For walkers there are numerous waymarked routes and footpaths throughout the area including Offa's Dyke Path and the Wye Valley Walk, as well as several circular routes throuhg historic market towns and some of the most scenic parts of the forest. The Daffodil Way and Poet's Path are popular around the Newent/Dymock area, while shorter routes around places like Cannop Ponds, Mallard's PIke adn Soudley Ponds are not only beautiful but ideal for a relaxing stroll.
