Forwood breathes the quiet air of the Cotswolds, a scattering of homes that catch the afternoon sun. It lies 0.8 km south-south-west of Minchinhampton (from Minchinhampton: bearing 207°T, OS grid SO 868 000). The lanes here often echo with the distant bleating of sheep, a sound that seems to drift on the very breeze that rustles through the ancient beech woods bordering the settlement. Here, the sky feels vast, a pale watercolour wash over the rolling hills that cradle Forwood. There's a gentle pulse to life, marked less by hurried footsteps and more by the slow turning of seasons across the fields.
