About The Purlieu
The Purlieu breathes the quiet air of the Forest of Dean, a collection of dwellings that seem to have settled naturally into the landscape. It lies 3.5 km north-east of Lydney (from Lydney: bearing 48°T, OS grid SO 660 055), and is situated east-south-east of Oldcroft village. Here, the light filters through the ancient trees with a soft, diffused quality, casting long shadows across the lanes and illuminating the moss that clings to weathered stone walls. The land around The Purlieu is a gentle rise and fall, a familiar contour for those who know the ancient woodland intimately, hinting at the earth's quiet strength beneath. The occasional glimpse of a red kite circling overhead adds a wild grace to the scene.
