Blakeney Gloucestershire Map

About Blakeney

Blakeney breathes the deep, damp air of the Forest of Dean. It lies 5.2 km north-east of Lydney (from Lydney: bearing 44°T, OS grid SO 670 069), and is situated east-north-east of Viney Hill village. Here, the ancient woodlands press close, their shadows a constant, dappled presence even on the brightest days, lending a hushed reverence to the very stones of the old church. The fields around Blakeney, often damp and dark with the richness of the soil, speak of generations who worked the land, their lives a quiet echo in the rustle of leaves and the distant bleating of sheep. The air itself carries a certain earthy tang, a reminder of the coal that once lay beneath the surface, a history now largely reclaimed by the persistent green.
