About

Lydney West & Aylburton ward lies on the western bank of the River Severn within the Forest of Dean. The area encompasses the historic core of Lydney town, along with the adjoining village of Aylburton to its south. Its landscape is characterised by a gentle slope from the forested ridges down towards the river's tidal mudflats and saltmarshes. The ward functions as a residential and service centre for the wider district.

The area is defined by its industrial heritage, particularly the now-closed Lydney Docks which once exported Forest of Dean coal. The distinctive, curving Lydney Harbour arm remains a prominent feature of the shoreline.
