Cider with Rosie This rather overgrown cider press is just off the B4070, where the path leads up to Wickridge Hill. It's only a quarter of a mile from Slad where Laurie Lee, of "Cider with Rosie" fame was a regular at the Woolpack Inn

Trantershill Plantation is a picturesque woodland located in Gloucestershire, England. Situated in the heart of the Forest of Dean, this beautiful plantation covers an area of approximately 100 acres and is known for its diverse range of tree species and natural beauty.

The plantation is primarily made up of mature oak trees, interspersed with beech, ash, and birch trees, creating an enchanting and tranquil atmosphere. The dense canopy provides ample shade, making it a haven for various flora and fauna.

Trantershill Plantation is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and wildlife photographers. The well-maintained trails winding through the woodland offer visitors the opportunity to explore and appreciate the abundant natural beauty. Along the trails, one can witness a variety of wildlife, including deer, foxes, badgers, and a wide array of bird species.

The plantation is also home to several rare and protected plant species, such as bluebells and wild garlic, which carpet the forest floor during the spring months, creating a stunning display of colors and scents.

Managed by the Forestry Commission, Trantershill Plantation serves as an important site for conservation and sustainable forestry practices. The woodland is periodically thinned and managed to ensure the health and vitality of the trees, while also providing timber for local industries.

Overall, Trantershill Plantation is a cherished natural gem in Gloucestershire, offering visitors a peaceful and immersive experience in the heart of the Forest of Dean.

Rose Bank, cottage in the village of Slad A fairly typical Cotswold-stone cottage in the Slad valley. In fact this one is the former home of the late Laurie Lee, the author whose book, 'Cider with Rosie' reflected on his childhood in the Slad valley. The cottage is Grade II listed. Historic England description PAINSWICK SLAD SO 80 NE 5/301 Rose Bank II Detached cottage. Early C18 front, C19 back wing. Coursed and squared rubble, concrete tile roof, large external gable stack on outer end of wing and 2 small gable stacks to main blocks. A T-plan, with symmetrical north facing main block to which long service wing probably added later. North front is 2½ storeys, 5-windowed, three 2-light gabled dormers with some leaded glazing over 3:2:2:3- light transomed casements at first and ground floors, all to wood lintels, but window 2 is blank at each level. C18 wide plank door in chamfered surround centrally. Back wing includes two 3-light chamfer mullioned casements with stopped drip and a lean-to in the internal angle, and a 2-light over plank door, also a 3-light dormer. Interior: various chamfered beams and C19 plank and rail doors. Birthplace of Laurie Lee, who still was in the house (April 1984). Not to be confused with Rose Cottage (q.v.).

Perilously perched pinnacles! These rather splendid gate posts at Catswood Farm look in danger of imminent collapse - though I dare say they've looked that way for a while. Friesian cows mooch about in the field beyond.

Stroud to Bisley road Although unclassified, this road is fairly well used as a route between Stroud and Cheltenham, as it is generally quite straight and makes a good alternative to the slow A46 or the twisty B4070.

Trig point and radio mast above Stroud Two structures taking advantage of the prominent ridge rising to the east of Stroud. The Bisley road, from which the photo was taken, also uses the ridge to gain the Cotswold plateau, where progress is easier than in the steep and narrow valleys
