About

Lydney sits on the western edge of the Forest of Dean, bordering the River Severn. The town developed historically around its harbour and the railway, which transported local coal and iron. Its landscape is defined by the transition from the inland forest's wooded slopes to the wide, tidal estuary. Industrial heritage remains visible in the form of the restored harbour and the Dean Forest Railway, which operates heritage steam trains through the area.

A prominent local feature is the large Lydney Park estate, with its Roman temple complex dedicated to Nodens, a Celtic deity. The town itself functions as a service centre for surrounding villages, with practical amenities and residential streets. The nearby Lydney Canal and Sharpness Docks speak to its ongoing, though diminished, connection to waterborne trade and industry along the Severn.
