Forthay, Gloucestershire Weather
About Forthay, Gloucestershire
Forthay emerges from the verdant folds of the Gloucestershire landscape as a quiet collection of stone dwellings gathered against the steep incline of the Cotswolds. It lies 1.3 miles south-south-west of Dursley (from Dursley: bearing 212°T, OS grid ST 745 963), and is situated north-east of North Nibley village. The land here holds the damp, cool scent of a limestone country, where the light often catches the grey masonry of the houses in a sharp, silver clarity. Just to the east, the deep, shadowed cleft of Waterley Bottom draws the eye toward a horizon dominated by the high, wooded ridge of Westridge Wood. Forthay rests in the shadow of these ancient, earth-crowned heights, where the geology dictates the slow, deliberate pace of the seasons. Residents look toward the prominent silhouette of the Tyndale Monument, which watches over the terrain like a sentinel carved from the very hill it occupies. The surrounding fields remain defined by a patchwork of drystone walls that have long resisted the encroachment of the surrounding scrub and timber. Life in Forthay maintains a tether to this geography, responding to the subtle shifts in the wind that carry the damp breath of the valley floor up into the gardens.
