About

Cinderford West ward lies within the larger town of Cinderford, situated on the western rim of the Forest of Dean plateau. The area is characterised by residential streets that follow the contours of the land, with many homes offering views over the town centre or into surrounding wooded valleys. Its layout reflects its historical development alongside local industry, with housing estates built to serve the community's needs. The ward functions as a primarily residential part of the town, providing local amenities and services for its inhabitants.

A significant local feature is the former railway line that once served the area's collieries, now repurposed as a public footpath and cycle route known as the Forest of Dean Family Cycle Trail. This path cuts through the ward, connecting residents directly to the wider forest network. This green corridor allows for easy access into mixed woodland, where oak and beech are common, providing a clear link between the built environment and the natural forest landscape that defines the region.
