New Fancy View Point

New Fancy View Point is a unique location offering a spectacular 360 degree view of the Forest of Dean. Located on the site of a former coal mine (in operation from 1852-1944), it combines natural beauty with industrial heritage.

The site features a fascinating Geomap - a 2008 sculpture depicting the geology of the region and the locations of 102 coal mines, 35 iron mines and 49 quarries.

It's an ideal spot for watching birds of prey, including hawks, and the starting point of the 5-mile mining trail. There are picnic areas and biking trails for families.
