About Alvington

Alvington, a quiet hamlet in Gloucestershire, breathes the ancient air of the Forest of Dean. It lies 3.9 km south-west of Lydney (from Lydney: bearing 234°T, OS grid SO 602 009), and is situated north-east of Woolaston village. The surrounding woodland, a deep, verdant cloak, often filters the sunlight into a dappled, almost liquid gold upon the lanes. Here, the old stone cottages, their walls softened by lichen and the passage of countless seasons, speak of a continuity that predates modern haste. The distant murmur of the Severn estuary, though unseen, lends a subtle maritime tang to the air, a reminder of Alvington's proximity to wider horizons. A sense of quiet industry once permeated these parts, a legacy of the forest's bounty, now softened into a gentle, rural character.
