About the Forest Model Village

One mile south of Lydney on the A48 is the Forest Model Village. This project started several years ago, with the challenge of creating a magical visitor attraction to showcase the humour of the Royal Forest of Dean and Wye Valley folk. The project was taken over in 2008 and will continue to expand and evolve throughout each year, so no two visits will ever be the same.

In a shady glade, discover distinctive areas themed with humour and mischief, including a new topographical “Forest of Dean’ area in miniature, and a ‘Giant’ area based on Forest themes and folklore. The gardens are populated by six inch high ‘forest folk’ going about their everyday business against a miniature backdrop of one twelfth scale (1 inch to a foot!) replicas of local buildings and landmarks. A popular miniature Railway steams around the model areas laden with wood and minerals.

Where is the Forest Model Village?

The Forest Model Village is located in the Old Park along with Taurus Crafts and Coinros Nurseries.  Look for the brown signs. The Old Park itself is located between Aylburton and Lydney on the A48, the south west gateway to the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley.

Easy access from the M4 east or west (via Chepstow or Severn Bridge), M5 via Gloucester and M50 via Ross-on-Wye.

Travel Distances:

  • Bristol: 35 mins

A mainline railway station is situated in Lydney, which is also home to the Dean Forest Railway.
