Purton Gloucestershire Map

About Purton

Purton, a quiet hamlet, breathes the deep, damp air of the Forest of Dean. It lies 3.9 km east-north-east of Lydney (from Lydney: bearing 69°T, OS grid SO 670 045), and is situated south of Blakeney village. Here, the ancient woodland presses close, its shadows a constant presence that lends a certain stillness to the afternoon light. The land, gently falling towards the Severn Estuary, hints at a history of industry, though now the silence is broken only by the rustle of leaves and the distant call of a bird. Purton itself, a scattering of dwellings, feels as if it has grown organically from the very soil, its stone walls absorbing the slow passage of seasons. A sense of enduring quietude pervades the place, a feeling of being apart from the hurried world.
