Blakeney - Blakeney is a village located in the Forest of Dean district of Gloucestershire. It is situated about 15 miles (24.4 kms) from the cathedral city of Gloucester and it lies on the western bank of the River Severn. It is surrounded by woodlands and is part of the Gloucestershire Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)

Historically, Blakeney had a coal mining heritage, and remnants of the industry can still be seen in the landscape. The village features a mix of architectural styles, including traditional stone cottages and more modern houses.

Blakeney's location provides residents and visitors ample opportunities for outdoor activities such as walking, hiking, cycling, and exploring the woodland trails. Nearby attractions at the Dean Heritage Centre and Clearwell Caves, offer insights into the local history and geology. Or take in the sights on a train trip from the Dean Forest Railway.

With a range of amenities, including a village hall, a primary school, village shop, garden machine repair business and a pub, it offers an idyllic place to enjoy the natural surroundings and embrace a slower pace of life.
