Old Bishton rests within the verdant embrace of Gloucestershire's Forest of Dean district. It lies 10.4 km west-north-west of Thornbury (from Thornbury: bearing 299°T, OS grid ST 546 953), and is situated south-east of Woodcroft village. The hamlet's modest collection of dwellings, often built from the warm, local stone, seems to absorb the dappled light that filters through the surrounding ancient woodland. A quiet sense of timelessness pervades Old Bishton, as if the very air holds a whisper of generations past who walked these lanes. The gentle slope of the land, leading towards the nearby River Severn, offers vistas of cultivated fields that change hue with the passing seasons, a subtle testament to the enduring agricultural heart of the region.
