Forthay Gloucestershire Map

About Forthay

Forthay, a quiet corner of Gloucestershire, breathes the gentle air of the Cotswolds. It lies 2.1 km south-south-west of Dursley (from Dursley: bearing 212°T, OS grid ST 745 963), and is situated north-east of North Nibley village. The lanes here, often bordered by ancient hedgerows that seem to whisper tales of forgotten travellers, curve with a natural grace, inviting exploration under a sky that frequently displays a luminous, almost ethereal quality. The fields, a patchwork of greens and golds depending on the season, roll with a soft undulation, leading the eye towards the distant, rolling contours of the Cotswold escarpment. A sense of enduring peace pervades Forthay, a feeling amplified by the enduring stone of its few, carefully placed dwellings, each seeming to have grown organically from the very soil.
