Lydney and us
The Forest’s gateway on the Severn
Lydney sits where the Forest of Dean meets the Severn estuary, a working town with its harbour, its docks history and the Dean Forest Railway running up to Parkend. It has good local shops and a strong sense of itself, but like the rest of the Forest, independent hearing care means a trip out.
Twenty-five minutes down the A48 through Aylburton and Woolaston brings Lydney patients to us. We also run regular home visits through Lydney, Aylburton, Alvington, Bream and the villages around the old railway line, for anyone who would rather not make the drive.
