Joys Green is a village in the Forest of Dean in western Gloucestershire, at the northern edge of the Forest by a bold loop in the broad stream of the River Severn, which here marks the border of Herefordshire.
The village has no village shop nor post office, though there are thoughts of re-opening a shop eventually. Once there was a primary school, which closed in 2008 to become a 'young people's directorate'.
The village still has its own playground with play equipment on and a small football pitch, this is currently situated where Joys Green Football Club pitch used to be. The Joys Green community centre is also still situated within the old primary school grounds and meetings regarding the local area are often either held there or at the Lydbrook Memorial Hall.
