Walk is longer than anticipated and would be better done at another time of year.

We are the Southwold (Yate) Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A walk based on Speech House in the heart of the Forest of Dean on a Saturday close to Christmas. There's no guarantee of snow, sleigh bells or a Winter Wonderland but a good walk to warm everyone in winter.
It includes Speech House Lake, a picnic area for a break and good walking in the woods. Much of this walk follows the Beechenhurst Trail in the forest.
After returning to the car park, anyone who wishes may join me for tea or coffee and cake in Speech House.
The car park is on the B4226 on the left-hand side of the road just past Speech House which is on the right. If coming from the opposite direction the car park is on the right just before you reach Speech House.
