SO6511 : Forest stoned road, Ruspidge, Forest of Dean

taken 15 years ago, near to Upper Soudley, Gloucestershire, England

Forest stoned road, Ruspidge, Forest of Dean
Forest stoned road, Ruspidge, Forest of Dean
This 'stoned' road, as opposed to green roads which are avenues of grass in the Forest, curves downhill and is lined with freshly felled trunks. They are lining the edge of the road like kerbstones and this is the result of 'thinning' operations. Clear Felling almost always results in tidy stacks of timber every so often. The timber from thinning is just dragged to the nearest point of the road and laid at its edge.
