A hamlet in the parish of Littledean, Gloucestershire
Green Bottom is a tiny, tucked-away hamlet in the forest mid way between Littledean and neighbouring Abenhall. The road between those two villages is small, winding and narrow, and Green Bottom is on an even smaller lane off that! The sort of place that no-one drives through in passing.
It takes its name from the small green bottomed valley in which it is situated. There are just a handful of cottages there, which benefit from a mobile library once a week. It has its own little Baptist Chapel, built in the 1860's, and which is still used for weekly worship at 3.00pm each Sunday.
Below: The Baptist Chapel. (Services held each Sunday at 3.00pm.)
Most of the hamlet of Green Bottom. Well, there are a few more houses, but not many!
