"The children were eager to explore and busy looking for goblins and pixies. Our daughter found fairy holes and our son found a lions den! One small boy we passed was eagerly hunting for a dragon with his parents."

Recommended by online travel guide simonseeks.com. Lucy Dodsworth experiences the attractions of the Forest of Dean.
"...the Royal Forest Of Dean, 24,000 acres of ancient woodland in Gloucestershire which was a royal hunting ground. Author JRR Tolkien visited the area regularly and is said to have based Middle-earth, featured in The Lord Of The Rings trilogy, on the area. He was particularly inspired by PuzzleWood, an eerie, mysterious network of paths laid down 200 years ago. You expect hobbits and orcs to appear around every corner....So if anyone asks why you want to go to the Forest, tell them there are hundreds of reasons Wye."
