Elmore Court
If you are staying in one of the treehouses at Elmore Court, near Gloucester, I also offer safaris around the estate which is enabling wildlife populations and their habitats to regenerate. I would travel over from the Forest of Dean and take you out wildlife watching for two hours, starting from your treehouse and exploring the woodland, hedgerows, pasture and watery spaces. Prices start from £175 for up to four people and then an additional £25 per person.
