About Oldcroft

Oldcroft breathes the quietude of the Forest of Dean, a place where ancient woodland presses close. It lies 3.1 km north-north-east of Lydney (from Lydney: bearing 29°T, OS grid SO 649 059), and is situated south-west of Viney Hill village. The air here, especially after a rain, carries the rich scent of damp earth and decaying leaves, a constant reminder of the deep green heart of Gloucestershire. The houses of Oldcroft often appear huddled together, as if seeking shared warmth against the sprawling, ancient trees that form its backdrop. Its lanes, sometimes narrow and winding, seem to follow the subtle contours of the land, leading the eye towards glimpses of distant, wooded hills. The quietude of Oldcroft is not an emptiness, but a fullness of natural sound and the soft murmur of village life.
