The Littledean parish sits on the edge of the ancient woodlands of the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, England. The settlement occupies a series of gentle ridges and valleys, with a mix of farmland, common and oak woodland that gives good walking country and views across a landscape shaped by centuries of forestry and small‑scale mining.
Locally notable buildings reflect its layered history, from a castle‑like former manor to the quirky former gaol, Littledean Jail, now a visitor attraction with a reputation for being haunted. The community is lively for a rural parish, with village pubs, events and a small local economy bolstered by tourism and people commuting to nearby towns.
