102: Coleford, Dark Hill and Clearwell (Forest of Dean 2018)

FOREST OF DEAN WALK FEATURING COLEFORD, DARK HILL IRONWORKS AND CLEARWELL

"Coleford, Dark Hill and Clearwell”
Filmed 28th May 2018
Post-production completed 3rd August 2018

My journey today takes me to Coleford, the administrative centre of the Forest of Dean. I explore the town centre for a while and then go on a walk. The locations I visit include one I previously visited with friends many years earlier, where I stop briefly and reminisce with some amusement. My walk eventually takes me to the lovely village of Clearwell before finishing back in Coleford, the town which also has a major connection for me…..

Filmed in the Forest of Dean in the county of Gloucestershire. Locations include Coleford, Coalway, Nagshead Plantation, Dark Hill ironworks, Gorsty Knoll and Clearwell. This is part of the series of films in 2018 celebrating 25 years of “The Solitary Rambler”.

Written, researched, directed, camera and sound, edited and music by Patrick Leach.

"The Solitary Rambler" is my series of amateur films of my journeys in the countryside accompanied by my own musical scores, which I compose and perform on my Yamaha keyboard.

Please note that, as with all the films I make, this is not actually intended to be an extensive guide to the area. This is a mini-movie of my personal journey along the walk, in which I often share some of my own personal stories.

If you are new to my channel, I strongly recommend reading the description under the “about” tab, which will provide a clearer understanding of what to expect in my films:    / solitaryrambler
