	ForestofDean
		The Forest of Dean takes its name from ‘dene’, an ancient word meaning series of wooded valleys in which swine are fed. The former is most apt for this beautiful landscape offering views across the Severn to the east and Wye Valley to the west.
		Covering over 200 square miles, 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 industrial past - redundant iron mines, scowles, furnaces and disused mines.
		Today, in the 21st century, industrial coal and iron-mining has ceased, there are just a few stone quarries and, with these few exceptions, there is now no heavy industry within the forest, although the free-miners continue to work on a very small scale and sheep badgers graze their sheep freely in the woodlands.

	Dean Forest Railway
		No history lesson here, but that decision led to the mothballing of miles of lines all over the country which were eventually torn up, often for scrap or to be developed upon.
		Some railway enthusiasts resisted this damning of our industrial heritage and formed volunteer groups which worked to preserve the railway and with it some of the engineering heritage in the rolling stock and stations.
		Dean Forest Railway is a prime example of this enthusiasm for keeping hold of our heritage while giving much pleasure to new generations who we hope will grow into enthusiasts like ourselves.
