The development
Drybrook is great place to live and it's here that Bell Homes are building a select development of just 26, two, three & four bedroom homes designed to sit easily within the local topography.
The village of Drybrook lies to the north of Cinderford, a flourishing community bounded by the Forest of Dean in a rural setting, yet within easy reach of communication links and the city of Gloucester.
Survival of the village was due in no small part to the dedication of the forest miners, and although the pits are long gone their legacy survives. Drybrook has once again become a rural idyll; testament to this is a recent Readers Digest poll, which voted the forest the best place to bring up a family in England.
