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.

Beautiful trails to choose from whether via lake, woodland or track - rewarding stop off at Henry’s at Woodchester for brunch, tea variations, barista coffee, pastries and cake.. not to mention Stroud Brewery Beers, Oliver’s Fine Cider and Woodchester Valley Wines. Adventure trail for children and adults👌💫

Just to the north of the main car park, there is an iron age hillfort, it is still on the edge of the Cotswold Escarpment, so it has stunning views (same as from the car park!) But, there's a really informative board about archaeological digs & findings here. Easily accessible walking paths, and worth a read

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

There are several smaller trails at the lake edge 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! 😃

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

Nice views

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.

A footpath that provides a link between Farfield and Smallpox Hill without having to use the road, which is very narrow with several blind bends.

Some wonderful views in all directions... The Cotswolds' Crib Goch... though not as scary! 😀

Great views... even at night!
