About Ruardean Woodside

Ruardean Woodside lies deep in the Forest of Dean, reached via the A4151 from Gloucester or winding country lanes from the Wye Valley. This elevated woodland community sits among the remnants of Gloucestershire's coal mining heritage, with narrow forest roads connecting it to neighbouring villages like Drybrook and Lydbrook. The old railway embankment still cuts through the landscape, a reminder of when steam trains hauled coal wagons through these ancient woodlands to the River Severn.
