Approximate location — this spot is pinned to the nearest village, so the exact point may be a little way off.

A working iron mine turned show cave in the Forest of Dean, where ore was dug for centuries. A marked route takes you underground through worked-out caverns and old passages — bring a warm layer, as it stays cool below. Paid entry, open seasonally, with deeper caving trips for the more adventurous. It’s a couple of miles from Puzzlewood if you’re combining the two.
