The Forest of Dean

The History and Heritage of the Forest of Dean

The Forest of Dean is one of the largest areas of mixed woodlands in the UK with broadleaves and conifers of several species, flora and fauna, streams and ponds all masquerading the industrial remains of the Forest’s heavy industry - iron mines, furnaces, scowles and disused mines. Today it's an area for leisure, bordered by the River Wye to the west and Severn to the east.

This book gives an insight into the industrial history and heritage of the area through to the present day with an overview of the towns and villages within this fascinating and unique area.
