11 The Barracks, Parkend, Lydney, GL15 4HR

This property is located in Parkend, a village in the GL 15 postal district of West Gloucestershire, England.

Parkend is a village situated at the foot of the Cannop Valley within the Royal Forest of Dean in West Gloucestershire, England. The area’s history dates back to the early 19th century when the Severn and Wye Railway began as a tramroad network designed to move minerals from the Forest of Dean to nearby watercourses. A small harbour was constructed at Lydney, and the railway line was extended to Parkend in 1810, linking the village to the broader transport network. Subsequent expansion saw the opening of a second line, the Mineral Loop, which connected newly opened mineral workings to the main route. Today, Parkend remains a rural settlement that reflects its industrial heritage while offering a tranquil setting. The postal district GL 15 places it within the local postal geography of West Gloucestershire, and its coordinates indicate an inland location within the forested landscape.
