About

Ruspidge ward lies within the Forest of Dean, characterised by its woodland setting and residential areas built around the steep-sided valley of the Ruspidge Brook. The settlement is closely linked to the neighbouring community of Cinderford, with housing extending along the valley sides. The landscape is dominated by mixed woodland and former mining land, reflecting the area's industrial past within this historic royal forest.

A notable local feature is the preserved headframe of the former Flour Mill Colliery, which stands as a landmark on the hillside. Footpaths lead into surrounding woods managed by Forestry England, offering access to typical Forest of Dean scenery. The ward's layout and community feel are shaped by its topography, with homes clustered along the narrow roads that follow the natural contours of the land.
