The Forest of Dean
The Queen of Forests all, that West of Severne lie
Her broad and bushy top Deane holdeth up so high,
The lesser are not seen, she is so tall and large.
Michael Drayton (1563-1631)

You may have visited the Forest of Dean Miscellany before and wonder where all the pages you remember have gone.
I am in the process of re-building the site and hope to have all the old favourites back soon.
Thank you for your patience.
In the meantime, if you have any suggestions,
I would love to hear from you.
