There is a train route from Chepstow to Lydney, and also the Dean Forest Railway (http://www.deanforestrail...) which runs from Lydney to Parkend. Due to its semi-rural location there is a limited bus service in most parts of the area, and a car would be a much quicker means of transport. Gloucestershire Tourism provides a Royal Forest Site (http://www.forestofdean.g...) which shows a touring route around the Forest of Dean, taking in all the major attractions.
