  • Lower Lydbrook Easy Access Walks
    Lower Lydbrook and riverside Brief description of the walk, path conditions and facilities Lydbrook is a large village situated along a valley that runs down from the central Forest of Dean to the River Wye. The steep valley offered a source of water power (running water) and close proximity to materials such as wood, stone and iron ore. The river provided good communication and transport links before modern highways were developed. Lydbrook became a hive of industrial activity and supported three forges, a lime-kiln, tinplate works and also a wireworks which supplied a vast quantity of field telephone cable during the First World War. Lower Lydbrook became the principle coal port on the Wye, and Forest of Dean coal was shipped from here to Ross-on-Wye and Hereford. Despite Lydbrook’s industrial history, there are few signs of this today and the village is a quiet backwater. This is just a short easy access stroll on surfaced paths in the riverside park, perhaps combined with a picnic or visit to one of the nearby pubs. Start point for the walk Lydbrook riverside park is a pleasant grassy area between the road and river. It is set out on two levels, with a small car park located on the lower level (50p honesty box), and 5 seats overlooking the river. A short flight of 7 steps leads to the upper level, which can also be reached by going along the roadside pavement (no steps) and entering the site at the far end of a fence. There are another 5 seats overlooking the river.

  • Post Reformation Catholic History in the Forest of Dean and West Gloucestershire
    POST REFORMATION CATHOLIC HISTORY IN THE FOREST OF DEAN AND WEST GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Michael Bergin ( Gloucestershire Catholic History Society ) The area we are going to look at today is that part of Gloucestershire that lies between the rivers Severn and Wye. Up until 1541 it was in the Diocese of Hereford, and in that year it became part of the newly created Diocese of Gloucester. The north of the area is served by the present day Catholic parish of Newent and Blaisdon. The south of the area, the Forest of Dean, is served by the Catholic Churches in Cinderford, Coleford and Lydney. But in the whole area there are only two Parish Priests. In the north of the area there are 20 Anglican churches that are of pre-Reformation Catholic origin, and in the Forest area there 18 such churches. The latter are situated around the boundaries of the Forest, outside of what was the Royal Demesne land. This land was kept as a hunting area for the monarch and any potential building development was prohibited, so that until legislation changed during the 19th century the area was extra- parochial. In May 1927, the then Bishop of Clifton, Ambrose Burton, received a letter from Mr George Hare of Cinderford. In his letter, Mr Hare pleaded the case for the sending of a priest to reside and Minister in the Forest area. Mr Hare had come to live in the Forest in 1919 and in the ensuing 8 years had not seen a Catholic priest there. He was concerned about the lack of Mass, of opportunity to receive the Sacraments, about the upbringing of his children and those of a small number of other families, in the Catholic faith.

  • Lydbrook Bridge PDF 108 KB
    Agenda Item TECHNICAL OFFICERS’ WYE VALLEY AONB WORKING PARTY REPORT JOINT ADVISORY COMMITTEE 5th March 2018 LYDBROOK BRIDGE HLF BID Purpose To seek members support for the bid by Gloucestershire County Council to the Heritage Lottery Fund for restoration of Lydbrook Bridge. Recommendations That the JAC supports Gloucestershire County Council and Herefordshire Council in the Heritage Grant application to the Heritage Lottery Fund for the restoration of Lydbrook Bridge. Key Issues Lydbrook Bridge is one of the three remaining former railway bridges spanning the River Wye in the AONB that provides a strategic crossing for walkers, including on the Wye Valley Walk. Gloucestershire County Council had to close Lydbrook Bridge in February 2016 due to safety issues with the structure. The Wye Valley AONB Manager has been assisting Gloucestershire County Council and Herefordshire Council (joint owners of the bridge) with a Heritage Grant application to the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for the restoration of Lydbrook Bridge. The Heritage Grant application totals £1,687,000 and requests 84% support from HLF up to April 2021. The AONB Unit is committing £5,000 towards the project, alongside anticipated contributions of £250,000 from Gloucestershire County Council and Herefordshire Council. In the meantime essential safety work will be carried out to the bridge structure this summer to ensure there is no threat to users of the navigation on the river and the footpath that both pass under the bridge. Reasons Lydbrook Bridge, also known as Stowfield Viaduct or The Black Bridge, spans the river between Herefordshire and Gloucestershire. The bridge is jointly owned by Gloucestershire County Council and Herefordshire Council.

The policies in the Core Strategy use these relationships and the general hierarchy of settlements. 1.2 The role of this paper is therefore to; Explain the role of national policy in the hierarchy Provide background evidence for a settlement hierarchy as used in the LDF 1.3 An understanding of the settlement hierarchy is important as the Local Development Framework (LDF) must set out a clear order of preference for the location of development. This needs to be robust, not just for the short term in the context of limited or no housing supply, but in the longer term when development requirements change.
