Overview

From Coaley Peak viewpoint we descend through Woodchester Park past the unfinished mansion and through the autumnal woodland passing the lakes. On leaving the woods we ascend through the vineyards and farmland to reach Selsley Common. We return through the Woodland Trust  Penn and Stanley woods to the car park.

One stop for coffee/snack.
