The Secret Forest in Clearwell, Gloucestershire GL16 8JR in the Forest of Dean.
The Secret Forest is literally only 200 yards from Clearwell Caves in Gloucestershire GL16 8JR.
The paths of the Secret Forest spread over a bewildering woodland in and amongst rock formations. Known locally as Scowles; they are the outcrop of the crease limestone cave system which started forming approximately 180 million years ago.
The beauty of this enchanting woodland lies in walking the footpath through the rising and falling scowles.
You will walk past shimmering leaves, rare plants and bonsai yew trees which have grown over hundreds of years amongst the rocks in their own gnarled and twisted ways.
The circular path divides into different abilities, both leading to the roundhouse village.
Here there are three iron age replica roundhouses which show the different methods of construction.
Educational courses, weddings and celebrations are held around the roundhouses.
To enjoy nature at its finest, bring a picnic and relax among the flora and fauna of The Secret Forest.
You never know, your imagination may even run away with you!
Our mission is to preserve and promote the appreciation and enjoyment of our natural environment through art, education and nature.

Clearwell Castle wedding venue, probably one of the most idyllic wedding venues in the UK. Set in the stunning Forest of Dean near the historic village of Clearwell. Then again, I am probably biased on this as we got married there in 2005 and have now moved to the village. A wedding you will never forget.

Forest of Dean... Make it Yours #MyForestofDean
With the days lengthening, the buds bursting and the Severn Crossings toll free we’d like to invite you to watch our film and make a date to come over the bridge to the Forest of Dean and experience it all for yourself soon.
We hope this exciting new footage shows our area off in all its glory, a natural outdoor playground where you are invited to ‘make it yours’ through heritage, adventure, nature, taste and of course, a lot of fun along the way.
Climb to the top of a hill for an epic view of seven counties, wander through ancient woodland, cosy up in a forest cabin with a hot tub, taste delicious artisan food and award-winning wines, try something new such as kayaking, caving, archery or even handling a hawk.
Then feel the rush of soaring birds of prey overhead, or your mountain bike beneath you as you bump along a trail. From heritage railway attractions which younger visitors will adore, to open-air sculpture trails, craft centres and pretty pub gardens, this is a place for tots, teens, friends, families, new couples, retired couples, and everyone in between.

CLEARWELL CAVES - ONE STEP AT A TIME ONE BREATH AT A TIME PT1
WALKING WITH HEART FAILURE Clearwell Caves are a collection of six mines; Clearwell, Old Ham, Lambsquay, Old Bow, Oak Pit, New Dunn. The interconnected cave systems were formed by underground streams from around 180 million years ago.[2] They have been mined originally for ochre, then for iron ore from Iron Age times Circa 100BC increasing from Roman times[3] and extensively in the last century, which considerably enlarged and extended the network of natural caverns. Ochre has been mined here for even longer.[4]
The nearby scowles at the Secret Forest and Puzzlewood represent shallow surface mines which have been exposed from above and later became entrances to the deeper mines.
Clearwell Caves are still worked intermittently to produce coloured ochres for use as natural pigments. These are washed and milled for sale in the mine's own shop. A range of ochre colours are available, from golden yellow to English Reds. Clearwell is also known as one of the few locations where the rare purple ochre may be found.
Nine well lit chambers have been made easily accessible to the visitors, with displays throughout. There is a small museum, shop and café. A network of much deeper chambers can be visited in the presence of an experienced guide and with appropriate caving equipment for safety. The upper caves are open to the general public.
