Located about four miles south-west of the town of Stroud overlooking the village on Coaley, Coaley Peak offers twelve acres of reclaimed farmland {now a wild flower meadow) with views over the Severn Vale and the Forest of Dean. It is next to a Woodland Trust beech wood and the National Trust's Frocester Hill site.

Coaley Peak was for many years a seasonal home to a community of new age travellers, who were evicted around 2002 to make way for more grassland.
