Corse is a small village and civil parish in the Forest of Dean district of Gloucestershire, England, lying close to the border with Worcestershire. It sits in rolling agricultural countryside rather than in the woodlands most people imagine when they hear the Dean, and the settlement is notable for a handful of historic houses, a parish church and traditional stone cottages scattered along minor lanes.
Historically centred on farming and a few manor estates, Corse today retains a quiet rural character with a modest local community life around the church and village hall; many residents commute to larger towns such as Gloucester or Ledbury for work and services. The area appeals to walkers and those seeking a peaceful base in the Gloucestershire countryside while remaining within easy reach of regional centres.
