About Upper Lydbrook

The air in Upper Lydbrook carries a certain stillness, a quietude born of its position deep within the ancient embrace of the Forest of Dean. It lies 5.3 km north-north-east of Coleford (from Coleford: bearing 33°T, OS grid SO 604 151), and is situated west of Brierley village. The sunlight, when it filters through the dense canopy, often falls in soft, diffused shafts, illuminating the moss-laden stone walls and the damp earth that gives the surrounding woods their characteristic scent. The houses of Upper Lydbrook, many built from the local, warm-toned stone, seem to huddle together as if for comfort against the immensity of the trees. Life here moves at a pace dictated by the seasons and the gentle, almost imperceptible flow of the nearby River Lyd, a small waterway that has shaped this landscape for centuries. There's a palpable sense of history in the very stones of Upper Lydbrook, a legacy of industries long past, now softened by the persistent green of nature reclaiming its dominion.
