ウーラストンの湖・トップ5

This place is definitely worth a visit. It is a beautiful area with seating available and a refreshments van on-site.

There are a number of well-located benches overlooking the pod

**PLEASE NOTE** Entrance to the Tortworth Lake / Estate grounds is ONLY available on the FIRST SUNDAY of each month from February to the end of October!! (I wish I'd known that before this mess of a hike. In January. On a Monday 🙈🤣). Opening times vary depending on the month, but it is only open on the first Sunday of each month. See photo here for the opening times (and a screenshot from the website). If you DO head here on a different day, the woodland nearby IS really stunning, so it is still worth a walk 🥰✨️

Visiting Lydney Harbour offers a unique perspective of the Severn Estuary, showcasing its 19th-century dock and remnants of the area's industrial past. The site features scenic riverside walks, sculptures, and is perfect for birdwatching and enjoying stunning sunsets.

Nice meeting hub while out exploring FOD plenty of picnic benches, cafe and a great walking loop of the pond, both lower and upper sections.

Nice steady firetrack climb alongside Mallards Pike. Plenty of single track trails from the main track if you fancy more of a challenge either up or downhill.

Beautiful route in the Forest of Dean. What is very exciting is the number of children and young people who, no matter what day of the week, spend time in the free trail park after school. Even parking is free. And there is good food there too. Simply different!
