About Edge End

Edge End, a quiet hamlet within the ancient Forest of Dean, breathes a deep, earthy scent of damp leaf mould and pine. It lies 3.0 km north-east of Coleford (from Coleford: bearing 36°T, OS grid SO 593 131), and is situated north-north-east of Mile End village. The landscape here, a verdant expanse of mixed woodland, often catches the sun in shafts of pure gold, illuminating the moss-laden branches of oak and beech. Though its precise origins are lost to the mists of time, Edge End has long been a place of modest dwelling, its inhabitants historically tied to the forest’s bounty, whether through timber, charcoal, or the keeping of livestock. A sense of quiet resilience permeates the air, a feeling of lives lived in close communion with the enduring rhythms of the natural world. The very stones of its older cottages seem to absorb the filtered light, giving the place a certain, understated gravitas.
