INTRODUCING

SURFMOOR
FOREST OF DEAN

What will happen? 

 

Built in an old coal mine near Cinderford, the site will feature climbing walls, beaches, nature trails, beach volleyball, table tennis, retail spaces, tree-house holiday pods, offices, a café, a restaurant and of course, a 300 meter, biophillically filtered, surfing lake which can create waves 2 meters in height. The lake sits in the midst of reclaimed forest, sat next to a historic spoil heap with a viewing platform. The soil will need to be cleaned and pH adjusted. New filtration ponds / SUDS were added as were suitable plants to rehabilitate the area.
