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?

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.

Surrounded by towering Douglas firs that rise from the steep slopes to either side, Soudley Ponds is a peaceful haven set within the wider Forest of Dean area. The pondside paths are surfaced and easy running, but if you're up for a climb the ridgeline above offers glorious views out across the forest.

A pretty little lake with a nice route around

This walk takes you behind the heritage centre in Soudley. it's worth a visit and has a cafe over looking the mill pond.

A lovely tranquil spot by a charming old boat house. A great spot to stop with lovely views of Middle and Old Ponds.

The upper trail is currently close due to forestry work (April 2021), but it's still possibly to get through by sticking closer to the lakes. Absolutely stunning valley at any time of the year.

This is only a footpath, please don't ride it. It occasionally appears in local mountain bike events where they get special permission.
