Flaxley

England

Flaxley lies deep in the Forest of Dean, reached via the A4151 from Gloucester or through winding forest roads from the M48 Severn Bridge crossing. The village sits amongst ancient woodlands between the River Severn and Welsh border, with local routes connecting to Pope's Hill and Westbury on Severn for daily trips. The ruins of a 12th-century Cistercian abbey still mark the village boundaries, their stone foundations a reminder of medieval monastic wealth.
