Great Collins Grove is a picturesque woodland located in Gloucestershire, England. Nestled in the heart of the Forest of Dean, this enchanting grove is renowned for its natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere. Spanning over 100 acres, the wood is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, making it an idyllic destination for nature enthusiasts and wildlife lovers.

The woodland is predominantly composed of mature oak trees, towering high above the forest floor. Their sprawling branches create a dense canopy that allows only dappled sunlight to filter through, adding to the ethereal ambiance of the grove. Beneath the majestic oaks, a carpet of wildflowers and ferns thrives, providing a vibrant burst of color throughout the seasons.

Great Collins Grove offers a network of well-marked trails for visitors to explore its natural wonders. These paths wind through the wood, leading to hidden glades, babbling brooks, and secluded picnic spots. The gentle rustling of leaves and the melodic chirping of birds provide a soothing soundtrack, while the fresh scent of pine lingers in the air.

The grove is also home to a diverse range of wildlife, including deer, foxes, and a variety of bird species. Keen observers may also spot elusive creatures such as badgers and squirrels darting through the undergrowth.

Great Collins Grove is a true haven for those seeking a peaceful retreat in the heart of nature. It offers a serene escape from the bustling modern world, allowing visitors to reconnect with the natural environment and indulge in its serene beauty.

Former Lydbrook Post Office Viewed in March 2016. A September 2009 Google Earth Street View shows this red and white building when it was the village post office. Though the name has been removed, the ghosts of the letters LYDBROOK POST OFFICE remain on the nameboard. The postbox on the right side of the former post office has had its opening sealed and its red paint removed, leaving a black surface. The white fronted building next door is the Old Apothecary.
