Visiting the Forest of Dean (General)

With respect to items in and around Gloucester, depending on their interests, there is the Museum/Library in Brunswick Road (off Eastgate Street) which might prove some interest and, this being the 100th anniversary of WW1, there is the Regiments of Gloucestershire Museum in Gloster Docks - the docks are also worth a look around. Take care not to go to the Gloster Archives on a Monday as I believe they are closed all day, opening Tues - Saturday and you might need two items of ID (driving licence and utility bill or similar) otherwise they might be reluctant to let you into the archives - allow plenty of time here as they only do a search run once an hour!! However, the archives does have a facility where you can search for artefacts etc online (through Gloucestershire.gov.uk)and ask that they be available for your visit.
Enjoy your visit.
