Visited today for the first time. We got there at 9am & had the place to ourselves until 11am! Parking was free as we have a 'discovery pass' but otherwise its very reasonable. Handy toilets on site & little cafe opened at lunchtime - handy for post picnic icecream! The boys (6&9) paddled & played with their water pistols for hours. Day was only ruined by an inconsiderate dog owner who selfishly allowed their three large labradors (not on leads) to take over the 'paddling pond' causing all the children to vacate to the grass. Will definitely be back during the summer holidays.

Attracted to the name (family name) we ventured forth. Very accessible, with free parking at entrance. Lovely level paths through trees, too big for us to explore in time available, plan to return.

Me and my partner came here today for a lovely walk! We followed the long route signs and took us about 1 hour 15 to get round. Beetles all over the pathways so mind your step! Lovely to see the birds, squirrels and bugs in their natural habitat, we also saw a group of wild boars who soon ran away as we approached. Lovely area and great walk we will definitely be back!

Puzzlewood - A Magical Day Out in the Forest of Dean. Why is Puzzlewood magical? Is it the maze of pathways winding through deep gulleys of moss covered rocks, the twisted roots of the Yew trees or the bridges, ‘lookouts’ and features to find on your way round? Puzzlewood is enchanting; it has an atmosphere quite unlike any other woodland. Here you can imagine that you are in a fantasy film, and that fantastic creatures lurk round every corner. Puzzlewood is used for Merlin, Dr Who and recently for a new Warner Bros movie called Jack the Giant Killer (release date June 2012). Also onsite are farm animals, willow maze, indoor maze, playground, picnic tables, café and gift shop.

Absolutely beautiful views, the woods are stunning and the walk is modest, there is an app available to download to collect 10 roman coins around the walk. Few farm animals at the start with a cafe and toilets, plenty of car park spaces, there is an indoor maze (small) great for kids whilst raining, reasonably priced and an adventure you sure don’t want to miss. 10/10 from me.
