At this little pocket in the County of Gloucestershire is Seven Springs, the official source of the iconic River Thames. At 229 miles long, the Thames is the UK's longest river, flowing through southern England all the way to London.

Careful on the golf course, stay to the edges. Fantastic views over Gloucester and stroud. If you want an express route down take Stockley and enjoy rocketing into Upton st. Leonards.

Parking at Daisy bank Road at the bottom is a good place to start. Be aware of MTB trails in the woods!

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.

Bit of a climb but worth it

A country park owned jointly by the National Trust and Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust, there is no end to the beautiful views, hiking trails and wildlife spotting options here. The hill lies on the western edge of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Cotswolds Way and the Gloucestershire Way long-distance paths both cross the hill. Bluebells, adders, birds and vibrant woodland can all be found on the hill. It's stunning throughout the year with every season bringing something new.

View over the Severn from Painswick Beacon - you can see May Hill and even further.
