The "Forest" is very specific because resident have "rights in common" like grazing sheep and coal mining, though you may have to be born there to classify as a "free miner". This is on the Northern verge in Barn Lane.

This village high in the Forest of Dean used to be a coal mining village, though most of the scars have healed there is still some evidence, for example a spoil heap can be seen to the left just below the skyline.
