Lower Common Gloucestershire Map

About Lower Common

Lower Common exists as a quiet suburban thread within the ancient Forest of Dean. It lies 3.2 km west-south-west of Lydney (from Lydney: bearing 243°T, OS grid SO 605 017), and is situated north-north-east of Alvington village. The air here often carries the damp, earthy scent of the surrounding woodland, a subtle perfume that clings to the brickwork and tarmac. Here and there, the gentle slope of the land hints at the deeper contours of the Forest, the way a quiet thought can betray a deeper feeling. Gardens spill over low walls, their roses and hydrangeas a riot of colour against the muted greens and greys of the English countryside. The occasional roar of a distant car is swallowed by the rustle of leaves, a reminder of the wider world beyond this hushed corner of Gloucestershire.
