Overview

From the car park we walk up a gradual incline towards Blaize Bailey viewpoint overlooking the River Severn, a pretty picture on a clear day. From there we’ll walk down towards the Dean Heritage Museum for a short walk by a delightful brook. We return to beautiful Soudley Ponds, home to native crayfish, on the way back to the car. Some track walking.
