About Ruardean

Ruardean rests within the ancient embrace of the Forest of Dean, its stone cottages gathering against the enduring woodland. It lies 4.6 km west-south-west of Mitcheldean (from Mitcheldean: bearing 258°T, OS grid SO 619 176), and is situated north-west of Ruardean Woodside village. The air here often carries the scent of damp earth and pine, a constant reminder of the surrounding trees that have shaped Ruardean’s fortunes for centuries. The quiet hum of village life is punctuated by the occasional church bell, its sound seeming to fall softly onto the moss-covered walls of St. John the Baptist Church, a solid anchor in this verdant landscape. Even on a grey day, a certain resilience seems to emanate from the very stones of the older buildings, hinting at the enduring spirit of those who have called Ruardean home.
