In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Coldwell Rocks like this:
COLDWELL-ROCKS, a reach of grand rock scenery at the boundary between Gloucester and Hereford; on the river Wye, 4½ miles NE of Monmouth. High limestone precipices, overhung with shrubs and traversed by gullies, extend along the one bank; while fine meadows and the charming hill of Rosemary-Topping are on the other.
Coldwell Rocks is now part of FOREST OF DEAN District. Click here for graphs and data of how FOREST OF DEAN has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Coldwell Rocks itself, go to Statistics.
