The Pludds Gloucestershire Map

About The Pludds

The Pludds, a quiet corner of Gloucestershire, draws its character from the ancient Forest of Dean. It lies 4.7 km west-north-west of Cinderford (from Cinderford: bearing 298°T, OS grid SO 615 163), and is situated west-south-west of Ruardean Woodside village. Here, old woodland paths, carpeted with the soft decay of leaves, whisper tales of bygone ironworks and the quiet diligence of forest dwellers. The air, carrying the damp scent of moss and fern, often holds a peculiar stillness, broken only by the chatter of unseen birds or the distant hum of rural life. The homes of The Pludds, many built from stone quarried nearby, seem to have grown organically from the undulating landscape, their roofs often softened by a verdant cloak of lichen. There's a sense of enduring resilience about this place, a quiet strength that mirrors the ancient oaks that stand sentinel around its edges.
