Museum sights in Forest Of Dean

   • Forest Of Dean, England

   For an insight into the history of the forest (and its people) since the Ice Age, this entertaining museum looks at everything from the forest’s geology to Roman occupation, medieval hunting laws, free mining, cottage crafts and coal mining. There are plenty for kids, too, from ‘what’s that smell?’ boxes and other tactile exhibits, to a mini-zoo with pigs, rabbits and weasels, an adventure playground and the current pride and joy – the Gruffalo Trail, featuring life-size wooden carvings from the Julia Donaldson classic.
