About Cinderford

Cinderford lies at the heart of the Forest of Dean, reached via the A4136 from Gloucester or Monmouth. The former mining town serves as a base for exploring the ancient woodland, with scenic routes like the B4226 to Coleford winding through the forest. Over 50 EV charging points support exploration of the area's mining heritage and woodland trails. The town sits atop what was once the Forest of Dean's largest iron ore mine, with distinctive red-stained earth still visible around old workings.
