We are the Ross-on-Wye Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Heading south from Lea we climb quite gently through Lining Wood to reach the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust reserve at Wigpool with its ancient ponds. Then we head steadily down to East Dean, cross the old Ross to Gloucester railway line and return to Lea.
According to the Wildlife Trust:- A visit to Wigpool is a journey into another world; a beautiful and peaceful stretch of water enclosed by trees. The nature reserve is a valuable habitat for reptiles and birds, which thrive among acidic marshland plants, with rushes, bilberry, grey willow and alder occupying the drier conditions at the water’s edge.
Let's see if we can get near the pool after all this rain!
