About Upper Ley

Upper Ley breathes the quiet essence of the Forest of Dean, a place where ancient woodlands meet the gentle curve of the land. It lies 6.6 km east of Mitcheldean (from Mitcheldean: bearing 98°T, OS grid SO 728 175), and is situated north-north-east of Northwood Green village. The air here often carries the scent of damp earth and pine, a constant reminder of the surrounding forest’s deep embrace, and the sunlight, when it breaks through the canopy, often falls in quiet, golden shafts across the unassuming lanes of Upper Ley. Though small, Upper Ley holds a certain sturdy charm, its few dwellings standing with a quiet resilience against the elements, hinting at a history of hardy folk who have long called this corner of Gloucestershire home. The surrounding landscape, a patchwork of fields and dense woodland, offers a sense of timelessness, as if the very trees themselves hold secrets from centuries past.
