About

Cinderford lies within the Forest of Dean, an area characterised by its industrial heritage and woodland setting. The town's layout and identity are shaped by the steep valleys of this former coal mining and ironworking district. Residential streets climb the hillsides, with many homes offering views over the surrounding canopy of broadleaf trees.

The landscape is marked by old colliery sites and tramway routes, now often reclaimed by nature as walking paths. A large, distinctive former colliery wheel, painted white, stands as a local landmark near the town centre, reflecting the community's past. The area remains a practical settlement for those working within the wider forest.
