Puzzlewood

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Puzzlewood is an area of the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire which was used by the Romans for iron mining, using the method of shallow trenches to get at the iron ore. It is now a tourist location of the forest. The confusing layout of the paths can mislead people into seeing six bridges rather than the two that actually exist. Puzzlewood is often said to be one of J. R. R. Tolkien's inspirations for writing The Lord of the Rings.
