The Moat breathes with the quiet permanence of the Forest of Dean's ancient woodlands at its shoulder. It lies 7.6 km east-north-east of Newent (from Newent: bearing 59°T, OS grid SO 787 297), and is situated north-west of Corse village. Here, the land slopes gently towards the Severn Vale, a broad, fertile sweep where the light often takes on a soft, milky quality, particularly in the late afternoon. The houses of The Moat, many built from the warm, local stone, seem to settle comfortably into the landscape, their gardens spilling over with the determined colours of hardy perennials. The air carries the faintest scent of damp earth and distant woodsmoke, a reminder of the forests that have shaped this corner of Gloucestershire for centuries. Life in The Moat flows with a subtle, unhurried grace, much like the small streams that thread through the surrounding fields.
