When you're exploring Woodchester Park, take a moment to appreciate Kennel Pond. It's one of several lakes in the valley, and it's interesting to imagine its origins as one of the estate's fishing ponds. It offers a quiet spot to reflect on the historical landscape of the park.

Within Woodchester Park, you'll find the 19th-century boathouse, believed to be a John Adey Repton design. It houses a bat colony, so the interior isn't accessible for their protection. Nevertheless, it's a picturesque structure to observe from the outside.

If you find yourself in Gloucestershire, Woodchester Mansion in Nympsfield is worth considering. It's an unfinished Gothic revival house with a peculiar story, as construction halted in the mid-1870s, leaving it complete externally but with many interior spaces unfinished. The mansion opens seasonally to the public, and also seasonally houses a cafe. This unique state of preservation, along with a resident bat colony, makes for a rather distinct and thought-provoking visit.

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.

Discover another of the delightful ponds located in Woodchester Park near Stroud. The ponds are located in the Inchbrook Valley and provide some wonderful scenery that makes for a perfect location for a stroll.

A typical Cotswold mixed beech wood on the hill below Haresfield Beacon. The trails are brilliant fun to run, fast downhill and tough uphill. The Cotswold Way long distance trail goes through the woodland.

The long, narrow hill of Cam Long Down stands separate from the main Cotswold escarpment, on the Cotswold Way between Dursley and Uley Bury. The distinctive wedge shape of Cam Peak, at the Dursley end of the Down, is a result of erosion and landslips. Enjoyable at any time of year, as with all the Cotswold limestone grasslands this area is particularly special in summer when it is ablaze with wildflowers and alive with bees, butterflies and other pollinators.

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

Fascinating archaeology, geology and nature combine at Haresfield Beacon. This spectacular viewpoint, which was once a strategically positioned hillfort on the Cotswold limestone escarpment, affords views across the England/Wales border and into the Brecon Beacons. All around is a mixed landscape of woodland and chalk grassland, home to a wide variety of flora and fauna.

Amazing Views

Bit of a climb but worth it

There is a slack line, a balancing challenge and wood which create sounds

There are various trails close to the lake if you search for them and get off the beaten track.

A stunning semi-finished mansion , which is supposed to be haunted. I find doubtful... not least because it's never been lived in! 😃

A great NT park with a good variety of walking trails for all. The parking is also only £3 for the day if you aren't a NT member!

Very lovely pond in a great NT park with a good variety of walking trails

Great place to visit. You can watch the resident bats on the infrared camera during open days.

Previously a beautiful, dense and wilded stretch leading up to Coaley, the Ash trees have recently been cut down due to ash dieback disease, leaving an oddly sparse desolate area. Trees and shrubs have been replanted so should be restored in time.

A despicably tough climb up; long, steep and unrelenting. Makes for good training / working off those Easter eggs
