콜리 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Not a bad way to get up to Nympsfield / down to Coaley if you're bikepacking and want to avoid traffic on the narrow steep roads. The steep bit is not comfortable walking with a loaded bike but doable and fairly short (not possible to ride with road bikes). There are no gates or stiles, and the woods are lovely. And at the bottom, wonderful views and beautiful quiet roads down to Coaley and beyond.

Stanley Wood is a National Trust-owned ancient woodland located near the town of Stroud in the Cotswolds. It has a pleasant mix of up and downhill walking to get those legs working and is not overly travelled, allowing you to enjoy some peace and tranquillity.

Fun, fast running on the way down, super tough climbing to get to the top - but well rewarded with stunning views from Coaley Peak.

Location for a picnic

Great views and all bridleway. You can stay at the top or ride a slightly more technical singletrack a level down at the end. You can drop down to lower levels at each corner or complete a lap.

Always great views no matter what the weather

Marvellous views over the Severn Vale and further into Wales. Sugarloaf is easily visible on a clear day.

Nice views
