🌳 Магический лес

**🌳**Это путешествие в самое сердце зачарованного леса Дин, где реальность легко перепутать с кадрами фэнтези-фильма, а подземный мир оказывается не менее живым, чем поверхность. Вас ждут два совершенно непохожих, но одинаково завораживающих места, ради которых стоит на целый день сбежать от привычного ритма. Первая остановка — древний лес **[Puzzlewood](https://www.puzzlewood.net/)**, будто сошедший со страниц легенд. На участке площадью 14 акров имеются свидетельства добычи железной руды, датируемые римским периодом, а также здесь было найдено более 3 тысяч монет римской эпохи. Здесь нет прямых тропинок: мостки вьются между замшелыми скалами, уводят в расщелины, ныряют под корни деревьев и снова взбираются на холмы. Говорят, именно эти мхи, папоротники и хаотично разбросанные каменные глыбы вдохновили Толкина на создание «Властелина колец». Также загадочная и неповторимая атмосфера Puzzlewood позволила ему стать площадкой для съемок многих фильмов и телесериалов, таких как «Гарри Поттер и Дары Смерти», «Джек — истребитель великанов», «Сон в летнюю ночь», «Тайный сад», «Звёздные войны: Пробуждение силы», «Демоны да Винчи», «Проклятый», «Атлантида», «Волшебники против пришельцев», «Доктор Кто» и многих других. Каждый шаг по деревянным настилам — как путешествие по иллюстрациям к волшебной книге: изумрудная зелень, тихий шёпот листвы, причудливые арки из стволов и внезапно открывающиеся поляны, полные света. Сюда стоит приехать, чтобы почувствовать себя первооткрывателем иного мира — без спешки бродить по лабиринтам, искать фигуры в очертаниях камней и просто дышать этим влажным, пахнущим лесом воздухом. Это место надолго оставляет чувство, что сказка существует на самом деле — стоит лишь позволить себе в неё войти. После короткого обеда в уютном Coleford, где можно перевести дух и попробовать местную кухню, вы отправитесь в **пещеры [Clearwell](https://clearwellcaves.com/)**, природный собор, скрытый под холмами. Спускаясь по ступеням в прохладный полумрак, вы попадаете в пространство, которое человек начал осваивать больше четырёх тысяч лет назад. Здесь до сих пор добывают охру — тот самый природный пигмент, которым пользовались ещё древние художники, и цвета на стенах кажутся живыми: от глубокого терракотового до фиолетового и ржаво-золотого. В огромных залах, наполненных тишиной и эхом капель, выставлены шахтёрские инструменты, старые вагонетки и инсталляции, превращающие пещеру в подземный музей. Но главное — это ощущение: вы стоите внутри древней горы, видите причудливые железорудные натёки и понимаете, что прикоснулись к пласту истории, который старше римских дорог. Холодный воздух, приглушённый свет и чувство тайны делают это место идеальной передышкой от яркого дневного мира. 📝 План поездки: 📍**08:45** **Встреча** у отеля **[Hotel Novotel London West](https://goo.gl/maps/WJDJWDLm2jQ2)**, 1 Shortlands, W6 8DR (рядом с Hammersmith Station) 📍11:30 – 13:00 [Puzzlewood](https://www.puzzlewood.net/) (от £8.50, бронируйте заранее) 📍13:15 – 14:15 Город Coleford и время на обед 📍14:30 – 16:30 Пещеры [Clearwell Caves](https://clearwellcaves.com/) (от £11, бронируйте заранее на слот 14:30) 📍16:30 Отправление 📍19:00 London, Hammersmith 👣 Продолжительность путешествия зависит от погодных условий и дорожных пробок. ✅ Включено в стоимость: ⚜️ Аудиогид на русском ⚜️ Тур-менеджер, говорящий на русском и английском языках ⚜️ Транспорт, организация мероприятия ⚜️ Профессиональный водитель с наградой RoSPA Gold ⚜️ Администрация и помощь во время путешествия ⚜️ НДС и все налоги, комиссия платежной системы (карта/банк/PayPal) ❌ Не включено: ❌ Входные билеты: цены указаны в плане путешествия ❌ Питание во время путешествия: индивидуальный выбор ❌ Трансфер в место встречи и после завершения поездки ❌ Остановки автобуса для посадки/высадки пассажиров по пути следования ❌ [Страховка](https://www.coverwise.co.uk/) в случае травм, потери багажа и личных вещей, отмены тура в последнюю минуту ❌ [Evebus Club](https://evebus.com/ru/evebus-club/) – переносы броней без потерь, [выбор посадочного](https://evebus.com/ru/seating-plan) места ❌ Экскурсовод: £20 с человека при условии набора группы от 6-ти участников 🎒 Что взять с собой: ☑️ Воду/еду по желанию ☑️Фотокамеру и зарядку для телефона ☑️Мелочь для чаевых и отличное настроение ☑️При необходимости не более одной ручной клади весом до 10 кг (40x30x20 см) ✳️ Обо всем остальном мы позаботимся.
