What a gem this place is. Homemade food, great staff, a warm welcome and very popular with lovely views of the canal

We were a team of six doing the LEJOG and this was a great stop for us. Very bike friendly with great food.

If you find yourself in Gloucestershire, Woodchester Mansion in Nympsfield is worth considering. It's an unfinished Gothic revival house with a peculiar story, as construction halted in the mid-1870s, leaving it complete externally but with many interior spaces unfinished. The mansion opens seasonally to the public, and also seasonally houses a cafe. This unique state of preservation, along with a resident bat colony, makes for a rather distinct and thought-provoking visit.

Just to the north of the main car park, there is an iron age hillfort, it is still on the edge of the Cotswold Escarpment, so it has stunning views (same as from the car park!) But, there's a really informative board about archaeological digs & findings here. Easily accessible walking paths, and worth a read

well worth a stop to refuel

Not a bad way to get up to Nympsfield / down to Coaley if you're bikepacking and want to avoid traffic on the narrow steep roads. The steep bit is not comfortable walking with a loaded bike but doable and fairly short (not possible to ride with road bikes). There are no gates or stiles, and the woods are lovely. And at the bottom, wonderful views and beautiful quiet roads down to Coaley and beyond.

Discover another of the delightful ponds located in Woodchester Park near Stroud. The ponds are located in the Inchbrook Valley and provide some wonderful scenery that makes for a perfect location for a stroll.
