Such a peaceful place

A busy walk and Parkrun

Beckford Nature Reserve, situated just north of the centre of the village, is a wonderful place for a stroll and to enjoy nature. The reserve features a peaceful lake, lots of bushy green vegetation, woodland trails, and some interesting wildlife, including as greylag goose and wigeon.

Dowdeswell Reservoir is a scenic stretch of water on the outskirts of Cheltenham. From the reservoir, you step straight into Dowdeswell Woods; a nature reserve that’s home to many species of plants and animals. Keep a lookout for birds including coot, moorhen, great crested grebe and little grebe.

Great park for running round with a nice path and plenty of benches to sit and enjoy the view. This is also where the weekly 5k park run takes place every Saturday

A great cycleway through the very beautiful Pittville Park... lots of pedestrians and dogs to avoid, but a great way to go and an even better place to plan as a spot to take a break.

A lovely village pond next to the church with a green shaded by a huge willow. A great place to stop for a break.

Great afternoon in the woods. Quite a few trees downed by winds and heard one crash whilst on my walk , so caution. Paths very muddy due to logging vehicles.
