Overview

This circular walk begins & finishes on the outskirts of Cinderford, providing a hilly, varied & entertaining excursion by way of Soudley Ponds & Newnham.

Expect lakes & forestry, intermingled with rural scenery, all sandwiched between the Forest of Dean, the Blaize Bailey ridge, & the River Severn. Also expect the very handsome, former port of Newnham, with its stately Georgian buildings, plus some great viewpoints along the way!

A very pleasant outing may be reasonably anticipated…..
