Slingate Brake is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Gloucestershire, England. Situated in the heart of the Forest of Dean, it is renowned for its natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere. Covering an area of approximately 50 hectares, Slingate Brake is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, making it an important site for conservation.

The woodland is predominantly composed of broadleaf trees, including oak, beech, and birch. These towering trees create a dense canopy, casting dappled sunlight onto the forest floor. In spring, the woodland comes alive with a vibrant display of bluebells, adding a splash of color to the landscape.

Slingate Brake is crisscrossed by a network of footpaths and trails, allowing visitors to explore its natural wonders. The paths meander through the woodland, leading to hidden clearings and secluded spots, providing the perfect opportunity for a peaceful stroll or a picnic amidst nature.

The woodland is also inhabited by a variety of wildlife. Avid birdwatchers can spot a range of species, including woodpeckers, nuthatches, and tawny owls. Mammals such as deer, foxes, and badgers are often seen roaming the undergrowth, adding to the enchanting atmosphere of the woodland.

Slingate Brake is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts, photographers, and those seeking a rejuvenating escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Its idyllic setting and tranquil ambiance make it a haven for relaxation and a source of inspiration for those who visit.

Little Buckland Bridge, GWSR Recently extensively repaired, before resuming its role as a railway bridge. As can be seen here, track and ballast are back in place as the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway prepares to extend to Broadway, something which promises to be the heritage railway event of 2018.

St Mary the Virgin, Aston Somerville In Gloucestershire until 1931, now in Worcestershire. Mainly 14th-15th century and sensitively restored in 1908 by C. Ford Whitcombe. Sadly, the retirement of a vicar means that from now a service will only be held here every other month, meaning that closure is a future possibility.
