About

The Newland & Sling ward is situated in the western part of the Forest of Dean, bordering the Wye Valley. Its landscape is defined by wooded hills and small settlements scattered along the valley of the Sling Brook. The area's history is closely tied to forestry and former mining activity, with remnants of this industrial past integrated into the rural environment. Local community life centres around the villages and their amenities.

A specific feature is the large, triangular village green at Newland, surrounded by historic buildings including the 13th-century 'Cathedral of the Forest' church. Footpaths and quiet lanes connect the settlements through mixed woodland and pasture. The ward maintains a distinct identity within the larger Forest, with its own parish councils managing local affairs amidst this setting of forest clearings and sloping fields.
