The Hollies

A long shot but I am really hoping you may be able to help. I have a photo of a sign in the Forest of Dean / Wye Valley area taken in or around 1983 I believe. My brother and I stayed there as young teenagers one summer holiday and we have very fond memories of our trip. 

We are trying to locate where the sign was and what happened to the Hollies Camp, of which we have not been able to find any record of nor trace of online or on our recent visits to the area. We don’t believe it is Biblins Youth Camp as we seem to remember that always being called Biblins. So the location of Hollies Youth Camp remains a mystery! 

Attached photo – sorry the quality is not great, taken back in the early 1980s on my very basic camera the time

The Hollies camping ground was down the Symonds Yat road on the right hand side. I think the sign said Holly Barn.

    Thank you Elizabeth. I have managed to locate the sign to Holly Barn (still there), which as you suggest is off the road to Symonds Yat East from the Coleford direction. I wonder what happened to Hollies Youth Camp – I would love to find out!
