The village is situated on the
A48 road (between
Minsterworth and
Newnham on Severn) and bounded by the
River Severn to the south and west. Westbury is also bounded to the West by the Newport to Gloucester railway line, although Westbury does not have a railway station, the closest stations being
Gloucester and
Lydney. Westbury is just over a mile long and has one only housing estate to the south of the main
A48 road which was constructed in the 1980s. The village also has a primary school,
post office cum village store, a
pub "The Lyon" and
dentist surgery. Geoff Sterry, a coal and solid fuel merchant, is also based in the village. Westbury falls within the District of the
Forest of Dean although the forest itself does not extend to the village. The village has a large
parish church, which is distinctive, as the
steeple is not attached to the main building because of a fire which burned down the old wooden building soon after the new steeple was completed. Within the porch of the church are several markings of crosses and full crosses made during the
English Civil War. The north porch and north aisle are the oldest parts of the church, having been built around 1290. Just to the East of the village centre is the
National Trust owned
Westbury Court Garden. ==Transport Links==
