Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ruardean is a village in the Forest of Dean,Gloucestershire, England, to the west of Cinderford. It is situated on a hillside with views west towards the mountains of South Wales. Little now remains of the village''s industrial history, but once it was a centre for iron ore smelting furnaces, forges and coal mines. The Norman castle, now little more than a mound, commanded the shortest route from Gloucester Castle to the Welsh Marches and the Wye Valley. The village has been, in times past, an important centre of iron and coal mining, though little evidence remains of this aspect of the village''s history. The main historical landmark of the village was a large Norman castle, near to the present site of the parish church, but the castle has since been destroyed. Like much of the surrounding area, Ruardean has historically been relatively poor; the 1831 census records 127 families, with half the population employed in agriculture and 160 people on poor relief.
