Berry Hill

About

Berry Hill is a residential ward situated on the western edge of the Forest of Dean, overlooking the town of Coleford. The area is characterised by housing estates, local shops, and community facilities built primarily in the 20th century. It functions as a residential suburb, with its landscape defined by the surrounding woodland and the slopes of the Dean plateau. The ward maintains a distinct separation from the more historic centre of Coleford below.

The local geography is dominated by the wooded incline of Staunton Meend, a large common land area of heath and forest that rises sharply behind the housing. This open space provides direct access to the wider Forest of Dean trail network. The community is served by several schools and sports clubs, with its social focus often centred around the Berry Hill Rugby Football Club, a longstanding local institution.
