Puzzlewood
Recommended by
Overview
Puzzlewood is a unique and enchanting place, located in the beautiful and historic Forest of Dean. Explore a mile of meandering pathways, with fantastic tree and rock formations, through this 14 acre ancient woodland. A maze of pathways winds through the gulley's of mossy rocks, the twisted roots of the yew trees or the bridges and lookouts. JRR Tolkien is reputed to have taken his inspiration for the fabled forests of Middle Earth from Puzzlewood, and it's easy to see why. As well as the woods there are animals, a willow maze, an indoor maze, and an outdoor playground. Puzzlewood is used regularly as a filming location. It is suitable for all ages as long as you are physically able to walk around and sensible walking shoes are advised. Pushchairs and dogs are not permitted on site.

About the area
Gloucestershire is home to a variety of landscapes, including the Cotswolds, a region of gentle hills, valleys and gem-like villages that roll through the county. To their west is the Severn Plain, watered by Britain’s longest river and characterised by orchards and farms marked out by hedgerows that blaze with mayflower in the spring; beyond the Severn are the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley.
