Moor End is a small rural hamlet on the western edge of the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, England, set among mixed woodland, pockets of moorland and rolling pasture. Its quiet lanes and scattered stone cottages reflect the landscape of the Royal Forest, with easy access to hiking and cycling routes that attract walkers and outdoor visitors to the area.
The settlement’s identity is tied to the broader historic industries of the Forest of Dean - timber, ironworking and mining - though today agriculture, local services and tourism dominate. Socially it feels like a close-knit, low‑key community, dependent on nearby market towns for shops and schools, while retaining vernacular architecture and the strong sense of local traditions typical of this part of rural Gloucestershire.
