Puzzle Wood
Puzzle Wood is an ancient woodland site within the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, England. The wood which grows upon limestone rock contains many weird rock formations, caves and ancient trees. The whole location has a very primal feel. Although pathways were laid down in the 19th century, the wood has been carefully preserved. Trees are allowed to lay where they fall unless across paths. And otherwise the wood is left to its own devices.
It was said that Tolkien who spent a lot of time in the area was inspired by this wood specifically and the whole Forest of Dean region in general in creating his landscapes in Lord Of The Rings. More recently scenes from both Doctor Who and Star Wars were filmed here.
