Royal Spring, Vention Lane GL17 9RL
Vention is a small hamlet to the north east of Lydbrook. The unclassified road from Vention runs down a wooded valley and joins the B4229 as it runs parallel to the River Wye. The Royal Spring is located at the top of this narrow valley in an attractive position. Despite its isolation the Royal Spring is still successfully trading.
