Cinderford RFC Stadium @ Bells Sports Arena

The rugby ground at Bells Sports Arena on the edge of Mitcheldean isn't going to stop traffic, but if you're camping nearby and have an interest in local sport, it's worth knowing what's on. Cinderford RFC plays here - a proper community club with genuine roots in the Forest of Dean mining heritage. Match days bring the kind of atmosphere you only get at grassroots rugby: families, regulars down the clubhouse, proper graft on the pitch.

You'll want to check their fixture list before planning around a visit. Saturday afternoons are your best bet for a game, though friendly matches and training sessions happen throughout the week. It's the sort of place where you can rock up, grab a pint, and no one minds if you're not a season ticket holder. The ground itself is functional rather than fancy - think proper club rugby, not Premier League gloss.

For families staying at The Roost Retreats just down the road, or any of the other caravan sites within five miles like Passage Farm or Whitemead Forest Park, this could fill a couple of hours on a weekend. Young kids might find a full match heavy going, but teenagers who play rugby themselves will appreciate watching genuine competition from players who still have day jobs.

It's not a tourist attraction in the conventional sense. You're here because there's a match on, not because you're ticking boxes. That's exactly what makes it worth considering.
