Attractions

Here in the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley, we benefit from a wide range of unique visitor attractions, meaning that there is always something and somewhere for you to enjoy, no matter what your interests are! 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?), 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. For families, we have an array of family-oriented attractions where you can all have fun and relax, from a miniature train ride and outdoor playgrounds, to boat cruises and high wires. You'll also find cinemas and theatres, and plenty of shopping and historic towns and villages to explore.

Indeed, even if the weather is not on your side, there is still plenty to do!
