Parkend

Located at the foot of the Cannop Valley, the existence of this village can be dated back to early 17th Century. Located in the Royal Forest of Dean in West Gloucestershire, this was a busy industrial area in the 19th Century, with coal mines, an ironwork, a stonework and a timber yard. While it didn't do too well in that sector in the early 20th Century, it later became a popular attraction and found solace within the tourism sector.
