The Dean Forest Railway originally served the various mining operations in the Forest, moving the ores by rail to the port at Lydney, to be taken onward by boat. As the mining industry was overtaken by larger scale industry elsewhere, and fell into disuse, so did the railway. Now it's a heritage tourist line, with steam trains and vintage diesel locomotives. The line goes through dense forest, with the trees almost touching the train, making for a very immersive experience.
