Hunt for witches and pumpkins in enchanted woods

Where: Puzzlewood, Coleford, Forest of Dean

When: Monday, October 23, to Sunday, October 29

Puzzlewood, the unique and enchanting place located in the beautiful Forest of Dean, is holding a Halloween Hunt for families during the half-term holiday.

Search Puzzlewood's mysterious woods for witches, pumpkins, goblins and more! They'll all be hiding in mossy gulleys, under wooden bridges, in spooky trees and beside secret benches. Find them and there is a prize on offer.

There is no need to book a place on the Halloween Hunt, just come along and please dress up!

Puzzlewood has a mile of meandering pathways, with its fantastic tree and rock formations, through this 14 acre ancient woodland. It has an atmosphere quite unlike any other wood you have visited.

JRR Tolkien is reputed to have taken his inspiration for the fabled forests of Middle Earth from Puzzlewood, and it's easy to see why.

As well as the woods there are lots of animals, a willow maze, indoor mazes and a toddler racing track, an outdoor playground, plenty of picnic benches, a cafe and gift shop with lots of local crafts.

The magical scenery of Puzzlewood has made it a popular location for filming and to date it has played host to a number of exciting television dramas including Doctor Who, Merlin and Atlantis.
