About

Newent is a market town in the north of the Forest of Dean district of Gloucestershire. It sits around a compact High Street where a market house, shops, civic buildings and the parish church form the town centre. The surrounding land is a mix of arable fields, orchards and small woodlands, with lanes and public footpaths linking Newent to nearby villages and farms. Local facilities include schools, community services and sports grounds that serve the town and the rural hinterland.

Community life often revolves around markets and local events; each summer the Onion Fayre fills the High Street with stalls, produce and processions, marking a long-standing local calendar. Walkers and riders use a network of marked routes that radiate from the town into the surrounding countryside. Small food producers, workshops and local traders operate from premises in and around Newent, and the town’s older buildings and street layout record its history as a market centre within the Forest of Dean district.
