About Upper Common

Upper Common rests on the western edge of the Forest of Dean, a place where ancient woodland breathes close. It lies 3.1 km west-south-west of Lydney (from Lydney: bearing 257°T, OS grid SO 604 025), and is situated east-north-east of Clanna village. The air here often carries a damp, earthy scent, a subtle perfume of fallen leaves and moss-covered stone, a constant reminder of the forest’s deep embrace. A quietude pervades Upper Common, broken only by the distant calls of birds or the rustle of unseen creatures in the undergrowth, imbuing the landscape with a sense of gentle, watchful life. The scattered dwellings, often stone-built and weathered by the seasons, seem to have grown organically from the land itself, mirroring the enduring strength of the ancient trees that stand sentinel nearby.
