Off the beaten track, the Rising Sun is a 350-year old stone-built country pub with spectacular views over the Forest of Dean. The accommodation comprises a large bar with an open fire and a small snug, both of which feature a part of the landlord's large collection of framed banknotes. Featured in the circular pub walks of the Forest, the pub is very popular with walkers. A friendly atmosphere, a good varied menu of home cooked food, the speciality being the famous Dragon Pie. The guest ale is usually local. There is no food on Monday & Tuesday lunchtime.
