Ruspidge is a compact village and ward in the district of the Forest of Dean, in Gloucestershire, England, sitting just a few miles from neighbouring Soudley and Cinderford. The settlement bears the imprint of 19th- and 20th-century coal‑mining and forestry industries, with former pit sites and working‑class terraces giving way to pockets of semi‑rural housing surrounded by ancient woodland and good walking country.
Today the community combines local shops, village amenities and active volunteer groups with people who commute to larger centres such as Gloucester and Bristol. Its proximity to the wider Forest of Dean landscape and attractions - from the Sculpture Trail to the Dean Forest Railway and other outdoor recreation - means tourism and outdoor leisure now play a helpful role alongside traditional local trades.
