ハムアンドストーンの湖・トップ5

The final mile. You can push hard as its downhill, to get that PB. The last sign (&cow bell ringer) says 200 metres to go. 50m up & a right hand curve, just empty the tank as it's shorter than it appears. Great course, volunteer's, café, setting. Unsure if raining?

**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 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.

A pretty little lake with a nice route around

This used to be in the grounds of the Mawdesley's electrical motor factory, but now sits within a modern estate. If you're passing through, it's a beautiful little spot to check out.
