Visiting the Forest (General)

Hi all

In a few weeks I will be visiting the Forest of Dean. A. to check out the area and B. to search for a few family graves.

I plan to visit the Churches at Bream and Viney Hill. Does anyone have any tips, or things I should know before visiting?

I also plan to visit Yorkley (family lived on Lydney Lane) Newland (family lived on Shop House Farm) and Lydney (I have an address, 6 Grove lane and Allastone Mense). Does anyone know about these places by chance? I don't expect to see my family name plastered over every house, but would like a feel for the area (if that makes sense).

Thanks
