Mitcheldean is a small parish on the northern edge of the ancient woodland of the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, England, sitting near the A4136 between Gloucester and Monmouth. Its position beside mixed woodland and rolling hills gives it a distinctly rural feel while still being linked to nearby towns.
Historically the area grew around forest industries such as timber, charcoal and ironworking, and traces of that industrial past sit alongside traditional stone cottages and a church with several centuries of history. Today the local economy is a mix of small businesses, light industry and services, and the parish is popular with walkers and cyclists who use the many local trails; a lively community scene of clubs and events keeps village life active.
