The Forest of Dean and Wye Valley is home to an incredible range of unique attractions, offering something for everyone, whatever your interests. From ancient ruins and heritage railways to magical woodlands and wildlife encounters, this is a place that will captivate, entertain, and inspire.
History lovers can explore centuries-old castles (did you know that we have more castles than anywhere in the UK?), or take a trip underground into historic caves and mines. The ruins of Tintern Abbey, with its striking Gothic architecture, tell the story of the region’s monastic past, while a steam train journey through the forest brings a touch of nostalgia to any visit.
For families, there are plenty of fun-filled attractions, from miniature railways and adventure playgrounds to boat cruises and treetop high wires. Discover the enchanting woodland of Puzzlewood, a filming location for blockbuster movies, or visit a butterfly zoo to get up close with some of nature’s most beautiful creatures. Outdoor sculpture trails, museums, art galleries, and historic towns and villages all add to the area’s cultural charm.
And if the weather doesn’t cooperate, there’s still plenty to do. Indoor attractions, cinemas, and interactive museums ensure that no matter when you visit, the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley is packed with things to see and do all year round.
