About Badger Holes

Deep scratches in ancient tree trunks and churned earth tell the story of this patch of Gloucestershire woodland, where badgers have been digging their setts for generations. The forest paths wind through mature beech and oak, leading to clearings where you can spot the telltale signs of nocturnal activity - scattered soil, worn tracks, and those distinctive claw marks that give the place its name.

Families with curious kids will love playing detective here, following the woodland trails and spotting evidence of the elusive residents. While you're unlikely to see badgers during daylight hours, the forest itself is lovely for a gentle ramble. The paths are well-defined but can get muddy after rain, so proper walking boots are essential.

Given its location near Gloucester, it's easily reached from several holiday parks in the area, including Red Lion Inn Camping & Caravan Park less than a mile away. Court Farm Camping and Severnside Boat & Caravan Park are also within easy striking distance. Allow an hour or two for a proper explore - longer if you fancy a picnic in one of the clearings. Best visited in early morning or late afternoon when wildlife is most active, even if the badgers themselves remain frustratingly elusive.
