Welcome to The Speech House, an unmissable historic building that has been a part of the Forest of Dean's scenery since 1669. Set in the centre of the Forest, this historic house is surrounded by one of the only surviving ancient woodlands in England. Whether you're visiting this beautiful location for a weekend break or to explore one of the many walking routes, The Speech House is a stop you have to make.
Why not pop in for afternoon tea in the Orangery or even stay a night to really get an understanding of the importance this wonderful establishment still holds in the local area. We're happy to show you around and give you an insight into the historic elements of the building, there are many original items still available to view. Verderers Court is the most historic room in The Speech House where judgements took place over 300 years ago.
