Villages In Monochrome

Picture

Parkend


A pleasant and thriving small village in the heart of the Forest. Once a coal mining and industrial centre, the village is now a peaceful backwater surrounded by woodlands, one of which is the RSPB Nagshead Nature Reserve. There are delightful village pubs, and a cricket pitch right in the centre of the village, ideal for spending a lazy summer's afternoon.
An impressive village building is the Dean Field Study Centre which is owned by Bristol City Education Authority and is used by visiting schoolchildren from that city, this building was the original engine house of the ironworks which was later converted by the Forestry Commission into a Forestry School whose students came from across the world to study.*
