Timber stacks
Actually, there's more to this photo than some stacks of timber. This is the trackbed of the old Severn & Wye Railway which ran from Lydney to Cinderford via Parkend. The history of the line is enormously complicated, as it began as a tramway in about 1810 and was only converted to a "proper" railway because of quite a lot of political wrangling, but it seems that it existed as a standard gauge line by around 1870. The line to Cinderford was never really a success, and closed by 1951: however, this section of line remained open in order to allow trains to access the Coleford branch, which had lost its passenger service (along with the rest of the Severn & Wye system) in 1929 but remained open until 1967 for freight traffic, mostly stone from Whitecliff Quarry. This photo was shot roughly from the site of Coleford Junction looking back towards Parkend.

North of Parkend
This path runs alongside the old railway yard which, in the past, has been used to park 40ft containers but is now taken up with log storage. Note the disturbed earth in the foreground which we noticed in many locations in the Forest of Dean. These marks are made by the increasing numbers of wild boar in the Forest.
