Beechenhurst Adventure Play area
Get lost - Puzzle Wood
Just a magical, unique, day out. The magic could come from the maze of pathways winding through the gulleys of mossy rocks, twisted roots of the Yew trees, the bridges or lookouts and other things you can find on your way round the mile of meandering pathways on this 14 acre site. The ancient forest has been featured in Dr Who, Merlin and Atlantis to name but a few! As well as the woods there are lots of animals, a willow maze, indoor mazes and a toddler racing track, an outdoor playground, plenty of picnic benches, a cafe and gift shop with lots of local crafts.
Dean Forest Railway
The Friendly Forest Line! Steam along 4.5 miles through woodland.
Experience the relaxing pace of a typical country branch line. With 5 stations along the way you'll have time to explore the local area, taking in woodland walks and country pubs or venturing down to the Severn estuary to explore Lydney Harbour with its fantastic views across the Severn.
