About Ruardean
Ruardean is a picturesque village located in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, northwest of Cinderford, perched on a hillside with stunning views towards the South Wales mountains. Historically significant, it was once a hub for iron-ore smelting, forges, and coal mining, although little of its industrial past remains today. The remnants of a Norman castle, primarily a mound now, highlight its strategic importance as a route from Gloucester Castle to the Welsh Marches and Wye Valley, making it a point of interest for those looking into planning applications in the area. The settlement has a population of approximately 1,363 (2021 estimate). It sits within the Forest of Dean district.
Property prices in Ruardean show an average sale price of £295,580, based on 50 recent transactions recorded by HM Land Registry.
