About

The Lydbrook, Newland and St Briavels area sits in the western Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, where river valleys cut into ancient woodland. Villages lie along narrow lanes and stream courses; fields, coppice and old quarried ground form a patchwork between stands of oak and beech. Longstanding forest rights and a history of mining and ironworking are visible in disused quarries, spoil heaps and the shells of former forges and mills.

St Briavels village is centred on St Briavels Castle, a Norman stronghold that later became the administrative hub for the royal forest and the place where forest courts met. Newland retains a village green and parish church at the heart of its community, while Lydbrook grew beside the valley stream and carries traces of 19th‑century mills and a riverside weir. A network of public paths and minor roads links wood pasture, long hedgerows and hand-cut stone features, making the area legible for walkers and those studying the Dean's industrial past.
