ノースニブリーでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Starts steep and stays it. Short enough you could sprint it, but for most of us its just about hanging in there out of the saddle with a low cadence. Not as savage as Waterley Bottom or Blacksmiths Hill.

20% sign doesn't lie, up to the first hairpin, then it backs off a little. Was in my 34/32 gear for most of it and out of the saddle almost the whole way. On a similar level to Blackquarries and not as rough as Blacksmiths or Waterley.

There are SO MANY great trails in Nibley woods. Gnarly DH tracks off the edge, and fun XC trails in and out of the trees. I thoroughly recommend getting lost in there on purpose.

Lovely stop for a slice of cake and a cup of tea. Open Thursday - Sunday 10am - 5pm.

Steepish track up but then grassy slopes and woods. Pandoramic views from the hill even if you don’t go up the tower.

Rewarding but hard, especially the first steep bit and corner where traction can be lacking. Looks a bit sketchy to descend though...

We went on a guided walk (Walk in the past) and our guide Steve told us that Wotton-under-edge was a town of Saxon origins and was first recorded under King Edmond 1 in 940. It's name is believed to come from the old English Wudetun meaning enclosure near a wood. It burned down during the reign of King John and was rebuilt in 1252. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and the walk up the hill to the monument was worth it just for the fabulous views. It's a little steep and if you are unsteady on you feet this may not be the walk for you. I would say a fair level of fitness is required to enjoy the walk up the hill!

Steep walk up the hill but well worth the effort for the fabulous views.
