The parish of Staunton Coleford sits on the edge of the Forest of Dean in west Gloucestershire, England, a predominantly rural area a short distance from the market town of Coleford. It comprises farmland, small hamlets and pockets of ancient woodland, making it popular with walkers and riders exploring the forest edge.
Reflecting the wider Forest of Dean, the parish bears traces of an industrial past in disused quarries and old workings, but today the local economy is largely agricultural with a number of residents commuting to nearby towns. Community life is quietly centred on village and church events, traditional stone cottages and an appeal to visitors seeking countryside recreation and local history.
