Searching for British Wild Boar - Forest of Dean
I went searching for my very first sighting of wild boar in the UK. I've seen them in France, Spain and Sweden - so it was about time I caught up with them in their UK stronghold - the Forest of Dean. Feel free to comment any questions, I'll answer all that I can. Wild boar were hunted to extinction in the UK, twice! But they are now back and providing a hugely valuable service to the natural ecosystems in our native woodlands.
Once we have re-adjusted to seeing 'messy' roadside verges, we'll hopefully realise the huge benefits boar provide by turning over the grassy vegetation and allowing more disturbance-loving wildflower species to become established again. The knock-on impact along the food chain is massive and wild boar could be pivotal to saving some of our rarest birds. Recent evidence is indicating that prior to the advent of farming, turtle doves evolved to feed on the annual seeds that grew in the peripheral disturbed soils created by...wild boar!

My walk today explores a very popular walking area on the fringes of the Forest of Dean, tracing a route around the parish of Woolaston, an area of scattered settlement and fertile farmland close to the River Severn. It is also the area in which I spent the earliest years of my life, so after my walk I return to the nearby village where I lived with my Mum and Dad…..

Clearwell Castle, Forest of Dean
Clearwell Castle wedding venue, probably one of the most idyllic wedding venues in the UK. Set in the stunning Forest of Dean near the historic village of Clearwell. Then again, I am probably biased on this as we got married there in 2005 and have now moved to the village. A wedding you will never forget.
