Puzzlewood is an ancient woodland site, near Coleford in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, England. The site, covering 14 acres, shows evidence of open cast iron ore mining dating from the Roman period, and possibly earlier.
In 1848 some workmen, after moving a block of stone in the woods, found a small cavity in the rocks. In this cavity, hidden away, were three earthenware jars containing over 3,000 Roman coins. No-one knows why the coins were hidden away in the cliff face nor by whom.
J. R. R. Tolkien, a frequent visitor to the Forest of Dean, may have visited Puzzlewood, and many believe Puzzlewood was the inspiration for the fabled forests of Middle-earth, such as the Old Forest, Mirkwood, Fangorn or Lothlórien contained within The Lord of the Rings. J.K Rowling is also said to have visited Puzzlewood, and it may have been this that influenced her idea of The Forbidden Forest in the Harry Potter books.

I *just* watched this and it quite frankly just made me so happy … it’s such a bizarre feeling to know that any of the stunts done in the movie were actually performed by Keaton himself without a whole big bunch of safety precautions or CGI - even the effects are twice as impressive because they did such great work with so much less equipment than they use now. I’m glad I finally watched one of his films!
I’m one of those people that you have to keep your eye on or I’ll wander off into the woods and forget to come back.
