Great views of the Severn crossing and what a structure it is

Waking in direction indicated and all the footpaths in golden valley are blocked and closed due to unsafe trees from ash die back

The finest and best-preserved example of an Iron Age hill fort along the Cotswold Way.

Don’t park in Rose & Crown Car Park, understandably they get annoyed.

The section from Severn Beach to New Passage on the paved England Coast Path might look tempting to ride, but it is a public footpath only used lots by the elderly, wheelchair users, unleashed dogs, fishermen and young children. Beware as I've hears reports that some locals will you give a lot of grief for riding this section, plus your insurance is void too if you cause an accident... I live nearby and suggest sticking to Route 4, or just enjoy the walk. The bit of Route 4 near Old Passage remains because of sea defence works (reopening late 2022 we're told) but there are nice back roads through Olveston to Aust or Route 41 through Ingst if you plan on crossing the M48 bridge to Chepstow and the more serious hills, beautiful Welsh scenery beyond.

Short but sweet diversion... worth doing if you're not in a rush.

The Wick Golden Valley Local Nature Reserve (LNR) is an important and unique place. There are few reserves in South Gloucestershire with such a diverse habitat so readily accessible to the local community. The range of habitats includes the river corridor of the River Boyd, mature woodland, scrub, steep valley slopes and unimproved limestone grassland. (https://www.goldenvalley.org.uk/wildlife.htm)
