About Bishops Mead

New homes for sale in the charming town of Lydney in Gloucestershire. Offering a range of two, three and four-bedroom homes, it's in a fantastic location on the southern outskirts of the town.

Lydney is a great place to set up a new home. You'll have all the facilities and amenities of this picturesque and historic little town as well as the River Severn, the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. They're on your doorstep for scenic walks and cycle rides with the family. If you need to commute, you'll be halfway between Gloucester with its link to the M5, and Chepstow with its link to the M4 at Newport for South Wales or Bristol. Lydney is connected to the national rail network too so that's an asset for the town and for Bishops Mead too.

Conveniently located just over a mile from Lydney railway station
