About Shapridge

Shapridge breathes the ancient air of the Forest of Dean, a quiet corner where the trees still hold sway. It lies 2.3 km south-south-east of Mitcheldean (from Mitcheldean: bearing 159°T, OS grid SO 672 163), and is situated south-east of Plump Hill village. The landscape here is a rich tapestry of woodland and undulating farmland, where shafts of sunlight often pierce the canopy, illuminating the moss-laden trunks of old oaks. The hamlet itself feels like a collection of houses that have grown organically from the earth, their stone walls blending with the muted greens and browns of the surrounding countryside. A palpable sense of quietude pervades Shapridge, a stillness that seems to absorb the very sounds of the forest, leaving only a gentle hush. The air, often carrying the damp scent of leaf mould and distant woodsmoke, speaks of a life lived in close communion with the wild.
