  • Forest of Dean & Wye Valley Self Catering Holidays
    FOREST OF DEAN & WYE VALLEY SELF CATERING HOLIDAYS Stank Farm, known to some locals as 'the stank', is situated in the picturesque village of Clearwell within walking distance of Clearwell Castle and Caves & Puzzle Wood. 'The stank' you will be relieved to hear is a very old word for pond or body of water and has nothing to do with the word stink! Ask the owners about the farm's history. The village also boasts 2 pubs, restaurants, cafe and a recreational ground. Nearby is Perrygrove steam railway and The Iron Age Experience. The old market town of Coleford only 2 miles away is a thriving community where all provisions can be bought 7 days a week. The Grade II listed farmhouse we believe dates back to 16th Century. The Lodge is a wooden log cabin that is set away from the house and sleeps 4/6 people. All of the self-catered accommodation has private access and outside space and all guests are welcome to enjoy the land and help on the farm if they would like to. The farm house and outbuildings are set within 17 acres with a stream running through and depending on the time of year there are sheep, cattle, pigs & chickens. The owners Andrew & Louise Salter and their 2 children William aged 14 and Lily aged 11. They offer a relaxing, comfortable and tranquil holiday within easy reach of the Royal Forest of Dean, Wye Valley and Vale of Leadon. The surrounding area offers walking, cycling, riding, climbing, canoeing, fishing, quad biking etc, Symonds Yat, Tintern, Monmouth, Clearwell castle, Welsh mountains, Newent, Ross- on-Wye and many other pretty villages and for younger children, Clearwell Caves, Dean Forest Railway, Model Village, Butterfly Zoo and plenty of nature trails etc.

  • Inquiry Into the Priorities for the Future of Welsh Rail Infrastructure
    Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru National Assembly for Wales Y Pwyllgor Menter a Busnes Enterprise and Business Committee Ymchwiliad i’r Blaenoriaethau ar gyfer Inquiry into the Priorities for the future dyfodol Seilwaith y Rheilffyrdd yng of Welsh Rail Infrastructure Nghymru WRI 11 WRI 11 Cyngor Sir Swydd Gaerloyw Gloucestershire County Council Strategic Planning Shire Hall Gloucester GL1 2TH [email protected] Dear Sir/Madam National Assembly for Wales - Inquiry into the Priorities for the future of Welsh Rail Infrastructure I have been made aware of the above Inquiry. On behalf of Gloucestershire County Council (GCC) I have the following officer comments to make. GCC’s main interest is the Maesteg/Cardiff to Gloucester/Cheltenham service operated by Arriva Trains Wales (ATW) and Lydney station also operated by ATW. Lydney is the only main line railway station within the Forest of Dean and as such is an important component of the area’s infrastructure providing sustainable transport options for residents and visitors alike. Lydney has an allocation of approximately 1900 houses along with additional employment land up to 2026 in their Adopted Core Strategy. Consequently, investment in local rail infrastructure is essential to enable sustainable growth and provide connectivity to the wider area. I have confined my comments to the questions below and they reflect the County’s position as a neighbouring ‘border’ authority. High level priorities for the development of rail infrastructure to provide the capacity and connectivity necessary to support the social and economic well-being of Wales; Response Electrification of the valley lines around Cardiff will improve capacity and connectivity across the city and wider area as well as improving links to other areas of Wales and England including Gloucestershire.

  • Geomap Leaflet
    Opposite Geomap is a memorial sculpture to honour those who worked and died in the mining and quarrying industry. It was constructed by Graham Tyler and John Wakefield and consists of three elements: stone, iron and coal. Freeminer Norman Ennis (right) and colleague Ron Baldwin point to the mine where they worked. Over 700 years ago King Edward I gave Dean miners the right to mine anywhere within the Forest after they helped him win an important battle, using their mining skills to tunnel under Berwick Castle. A Freeminer must be over 21, born within the Royal Forest of Dean, and have worked down a local coalmine for a year and a day. Directions Geomap is at the New Fancy Viewpoint in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, two miles south of the Speech House Hotel (see map).

  • LOCAL TRANSPORT PLAN Consultation for Plan Period 2015 – 2041 Response by CPRE Gloucestershire March 2020
    LOCAL TRANSPORT PLAN consultation for plan period 2015 – 2041 Response by CPRE Gloucestershire March 2020 1) Introduction. In our view the LTP as currently drafted is over long, unnecessarily detailed in parts and very repetitive. It would benefit from a rigorous edit. It is also very confusing in its numbering. It would be helpful if it were numbered right through i.e. from page 1 to page 485, with each section of the plan renumbered accordingly to a standard format. Although a detailed document is necessary, it is surely undemocratic that something that will radically affect the lives of so many people should be presented in a way that will discourage all but a few experts and transport enthusiasts from responding. This is an important point as throughout the document there are sections where the input of local communities is essential. Much of the plan is aspirational because it relies on other parties, over whom the County Council has no direct influence to agree and deliver funding (key examples are Network Rail and Highways England). It would be helpful if it were clear in the policies and text where that agreement is already in place and those policies and projects which are within Gloucestershire’s (county council, district council and other public bodies) powers to implement. Gloucestershire’s landscape in all its diversity and beauty has been recognised, for instance in the emerging LEP Local Industrial Strategy, as a major attraction and contributor to economic growth. Travel infrastructure can if inappropriately designed or located have a significant damaging effect. The need to avoid this, or where it cannot be avoided mitigate the effects, is not mentioned in the plan.
