About

Pillowell is a former mining village situated on the western edge of the Forest of Dean plateau. The area is defined by steep, wooded valleys and its historical ties to the local coal industry, with older terraced housing reflecting this past. The community is centred along the main road that runs through the village, with local amenities serving residents. The landscape quickly gives way to mixed woodland and farmland on its fringes, characteristic of the wider forest district.

A notable local feature is the large, disused Victoria Colliery engine house, a stone landmark that stands prominently on the hillside. Public footpaths lead from the village into surrounding woods and to the nearby Cannop Ponds. The area maintains a quiet, residential character, with modern housing developments extending from the older core. Its elevated position offers views across the valley towards other forest settlements.
