Brookend lies in the Forest of Dean district of Gloucestershire, a quiet corner of England where the ancient woodland presses close. It lies 5.3 km south-west of Lydney (from Lydney: bearing 229°T, OS grid ST 593 997), and is situated south of Woolaston village. The air here often carries the scent of damp earth and pine, a fragrance that speaks of the deep forest that surrounds Brookend. Its lanes, winding and narrow, seem to follow the contours of the land rather than imposing a strict order, and the light, when it breaks through the canopy, can be a soft, filtered gold. Though not a place of grand pronouncements, Brookend possesses a steady, unassuming character, a reflection of the enduring landscape from which it draws its name.
