Coleford is a great base from which to explore the Forest of Dean and discover a fascinating heritage unlike anywhere else in England – there are plenty of things to see and do with the kids — visit museums and historic buildings, castles and ancient churches. Forest House itself holds particular interest in the area as it was once the home of Robert Mushet, the inventor of steel.
You are spoilt for choice for fascinating days out; follow in the footsteps of Dr Who, Merlin and Atlantis through the maze of mossy pathways and twisted roots of the mystical Puzzlewood, fourteen acres of ancient woodland; or learn about our industrial heritage at Clearwell Caves where iron ore was mined for over 4000 years; or steam through the Forest on the Dean Forest Railway.
