Overview

A leisurely five mile walk on woodland tracks and paths on the higher ground in the north east corner of the Forest of Dean. This gently undulating walk passes through historic and modern woodlands, heathland, a nature reserve with grazing cattle and ponies, and passes by sites of the historic mineral and transport heritage of the area.
