This walk begins from the former Severn shipbuilding port of Newnham. The walk climbs to the eastern fringes of the Forest of Dean to follow the course of the Soudley Brook, whose upper reaches have been dammed to create a sequence of ponds. The Dean Heritage Centre offers an opportunity for an interesting break in the ramble before returning across the fields and an attractive finish beside the River Severn.
Please bring enough food and drink for a coffee stop and a packed lunch.
There are a couple of overgrown fields to walk round or cross.
Please contact the walk leader to organise car sharing.
