Straddling the A40 about seven miles west of Gloucester, Huntley serves as a practical gateway between the Severn Vale and the Forest of Dean. It’s a village defined by its undulating landscape, sitting at the foot of May Hill - a well-known local landmark topped with a distinctive clump of trees that offers clear views across several counties. The settlement is largely linear, centered around the primary school and the Sawmill, which remains a nod to the area’s longstanding timber traditions. Unlike the flatter surrounding vales, the terrain here is hilly and wooded; Huntley Wood and the local quarry provide immediate access to green space, while the 19th-century church of St John the Baptist stands as a prominent architectural point with its sharp spire and ornate interior. Life here tends to revolve around a few core amenities like the traditional pub and the village hall, though most residents look to nearby Newent or Gloucester for broader services. It’s a place that feels properly rural, yet remains high enough on the ridge to avoid the river mists of the lowlands.
