Attractions

The Forest of Dean and Wye Valley has a wide range of unique visitor attractions. From the magical Puzzlewood to the ruins of Tintern Abbey, this is a place which will take your breath away, entertain and amaze you and leave you wanting to come back for more.

You may wish to discover the area's history at one of our many castles (did you know that we have more castles than anywhere in the UK?), or enjoy a stroll around an underground cave, step back in time on a heritage steam train ride through ancient forest or delight at the beauty of nature at a butterfly zoo. There are museums galore including a museum of the forest, art galleries and outdoor sculpture trails, mazes and miniature golf. There are an array of family oriented attractions where you can all have fun, relax or enjoy some animal magic too from a miniature train ride and outdoor playgrounds to boat cruises and high wires. You'll find cinemas and theatres, racecourses and a birds of prey centre, plus plenty of shopping and historic towns and villages to explore.

Don't forget that on rainy days there’s plenty to do too.
