About Playley Green

Playley Green breathes the quiet air of the Forest of Dean, a place where ancient woodland presses close. It lies 7.2 km north-north-east of Newent (from Newent: bearing 33°T, OS grid SO 761 318), and is situated east-north-east of Redmarley D'Abitot village. The village green itself, a sweep of resilient grass, holds the memory of countless summer afternoons and the hushed tread of winter boots, its edges softened by the encroaching woodland. Small, sturdy houses, their stone weathered by generations of Gloucestershire rain, cluster around this communal heart, their chimneys exhaling faint plumes of smoke that mingle with the scent of damp earth and pine. A sense of quiet industry once permeated Playley Green, tied to the bounty of the forest, and though that has receded, the landscape still whispers of its past. The light here, filtering through the dense canopy, often carries a soft, diffused quality, painting the scene in muted greens and earthy browns.
