Aylburton lies astride the A48 approximately 1.5 kilometres south west of Lydney. To the east of the village the land slopes gently down to the Severn Estuary, whilst to the west the land rises steeply from the village edge up to the Severn Escarpment. Aylburton Village is generally linear with mainly older terraced properties facing directly onto the A48. Much of the village falls within a designated Conservation Area, including the houses either side of the A48, St Mary’s Church and the primary school. Within this area, there are 7 listed buildings and one ancient monument – the 14th-century Village Cross.
