The small hamlet of Northwood Green lies in the Forest of Dean district of Gloucestershire, England. Set among mixed farmland and pockets of ancient woodland typical of the area, it has a quietly rural character and appeals to walkers and wildlife enthusiasts.
Like much of the Forest of Dean, the hamlet has historic links to forestry, ironworking and small‑scale mining, and today the local economy is largely agricultural and residential with some income from tourism and outdoor recreation. Built heritage tends to be stone cottages and farm outbuildings, and community life is small‑scale and village‑focused, giving it a strong sense of place.
