Stroat, a hamlet in Gloucestershire's Forest of Dean, breathes a quiet existence where ancient woodlands press close. It lies 8.4 km south-west of Lydney (from Lydney: bearing 227°T, OS grid ST 571 975), and is situated east-north-east of Woodcroft village. The air here, often carrying the damp, earthy scent of the surrounding forest, seems to hold the murmur of centuries. A scattering of dwellings, some with gardens that spill over with the untamed beauty of the woodland edge, mark the presence of Stroat. The landscape around Stroat is a gentle undulation of land, a testament to the slow, persistent work of water and time, where the light filters through a canopy of oak and beech, painting shifting patterns on the leaf-strewn ground. Though small, Stroat possesses a subtle charm, a stillness that invites contemplation of the natural world it inhabits.
