Dean, Forest of
The Forest of Dean is a geographical, historical and cultural region in the western part of the county of Gloucestershire, England. It forms a roughly triangular plateau bounded by the River Wye to the west and north-west, Herefordshire to the north, the River Severn to the south, and the City of Gloucester to the east.
The area is characterised by more than 110 square kilometres (42.5 sq mi) of mixed woodland, one of the surviving ancient woodlands in England. A large area was reserved for royal hunting before 1066, and remained as the second largest crown forest in England, the largest being New Forest. Although the name is used loosely to refer to the part of Gloucestershire between the Severn and Wye, the Forest of Dean proper has covered a much smaller area since medieval times. In 1327 it was defined to cover only the royal demesne and parts of parishes within the hundred of St Briavels, and after 1668 comprised the royal demesne only. The Forest proper is within the civil parishes of West Dean, Lydbrook, Cinderford, Ruspidge, and Drybrook, together with a strip of land in the parish of English Bicknor.
Traditionally the main sources of work have been forestry – including charcoal production - iron working and coal mining. Archaeological studies have dated the earliest use of coal to Roman times for domestic heating and industrial processes such as the preparation of iron ore.
The area gives its name to the local government district, Forest of Dean, and a parliamentary constituency, both of which cover wider areas than the historic Forest. The administrative centre of the local authority is Coleford, one of the main towns in the historic Forest area, together with Cinderford and Lydney.
The Forest of Dean is formed of a raised basin of palaeozoic rocks folded in the Variscan Orogeny, similar to the South Wales coalfield to the west. Underlain by great thicknesses of the Old Red Sandstone, the basin is filled with Carboniferous limestones, sandstones and coal measures, all of which have contributed to the industrial history of the region.

Barn dance, folk dance and ceilidh musicians in session at The Bell, Chittlehampton, Devon, UK
Playing barn dance, folk dance and ceilidh tunes throughout the evening at a traditional English rural pub with other traditional English dance musicians is one of my favourite pastimes, surpassed only by the pleasure of playing at barn dances, folk dances and ceilidhs as a member of BarnBuskers Ceilidh and Folk Dance Band where there is always the added adrenaline rush of the dancers whirling around the floor, smiling, laughing and joking which I always enjoy.
Traditional English folk music sessions are also a great opportunity to practice the tunes we play at barn dances, ceilidhs and folk dances and there are few better musicians to practice with than the talented musicians of the Bloatertown Band, Devon's premier country dance band and Rob Murch of the Dartmoor Pixies and Moor Music Trio whom I spotted in the corner of the bar playing his 5 string banjo.
If you are an acoustic musician and haven't experienced the delights of playing traditional folk tunes in a local pub session, it's an experience well worth checking out.
If you like listening to traditional English folk music, there is probably a traditional folk music session near you. The music is usually free and all that is generally required is to buy a drink at the bar.
If you are in the Devon area and would like to experience the delights of a traditional English pub music session, either as a player or listener, if you call the proprietor of The Bell, Chittlehampton, Umberleigh, Devon, UK he will always be happy to tell you the date and time of the next traditional barn dance, ceilidh and folk dance musicians session. Perhaps I'll see you there :-)
