The experience

About this day out

Puzzlewood is a unique and ancient woodland in the heart of the Forest of Dean, a rare temperate rainforest and popular filming location featured in Star Wars, Doctor Who and many more. A mile and a half of paths take visitors up and down steps, through mossy gorges and over wooden bridges to scenic lookouts. The site also offers holiday accommodation and onsite animals.
