Waters Of The Forest Of Dean


We have lived near The Forest of Dean since 2007, it's a beautiful place steeped in history.  We have spent a lot of time walking around many of the popular ponds and lakes which originally were man made to service the mining and forestry industries and have now become local beauty spots, picnic areas and angling pools.   

​I thought it would be a nice idea to capture these watery treasures at different times and seasons, so I have set myself a project with the hope that perhaps I can produce enough interesting images to create a small exhibition reflecting the title of this article.

I am collaborating with Pete Ralph, a local FOD Historian who is providing a background history of the locations. Whilst I knew a reasonable number of locations, following some research I was surprised that there are over 100 ponds and pools scattered throughout the general area know as The Forest of Dean between the Rivers Severn and Wye.   

More images portraying different aspects of the waters including the changing seasons will be added over time. 


My list currently includes the following locations:
