About

Lydney North ward lies within the Forest of Dean district, situated on the western bank of the River Severn. The area encompasses residential neighbourhoods, industrial estates, and sections of the historic Lydney Park. It functions as a key part of the town's local economy, with its proximity to the river having historically shaped its development.

A notable feature is the area's connection to the Lydney Canal, a short waterway leading from the town to the Severn. This canal, along with the remaining harbour walls, speaks to its past role in the regional iron and coal trade. The ward contains local schools, shopping facilities, and provides access to the wider forest trails. It is a primarily residential community with a distinct industrial heritage embedded in its physical layout.
