Woolaston is a small village and civil parish in the south‑west of the Forest of Dean district of Gloucestershire, England. It sits close to the border with Monmouthshire and the Severn Estuary, with lanes and hedgerows that give intermittent views across the estuary towards the Wye Valley and Chepstow, and a landscape of mixed pasture, small woodlands and traditional stone cottages.
Historically an agricultural community, the parish still relies on farming while many residents commute to nearby towns such as Gloucester and Bristol. Local life is lively for a village its size, centred on the village hall, parish church and sports clubs, with regular fetes and community events; its quiet lanes and historic buildings also make it popular with walkers and those seeking a rural base close to Wales.
