Mallards Pike Lake Café

Highlight • Cafe

Brilliant lakeside cafe at Mallards Pike where you'll find some brilliant walking and MTB trails nearby.

I'd highly recommend the hot chocolates after a filthy, wet and cold ride!

Pedalabikeaway Café & Bike Shop

Highlight • Cycleway

Great bike shop and cafe. Super yummy food and good coffee. What more could you want? There is an outside cafe that serves pizza and coffee to go in the summer which is pretty awesome. In the winter there is a lovely fire inside the cafe to keep you warm.

Colliers Trail, Forest of Dean

Highlight • Forest

A quite stunning trail for all abilities and contraptions. The trail is excellently maintained, with lots of little off-cuts for skills testing. Perfect for little ones to have a protected, traffic-free bimble through the Forest.

For those with big-league MTB abilities, the Cannop Cycling Centres offers a bewildering variety of downhill and mountain bike trails. Plus a shop and café for relaxing at afterwards. Just bring your body protectors! 😊

Very peaceful. Loads of bird life and a nice little ice cream van. Apparently good fishing as bike aren't allowed around pond.

View of Cannop Ponds

Highlight • Lake

Once the site of the Severn and Wye Railway, this area has been turned into an important habitat for the wildlife that's now abundant in this former industrial area.

Keep an eye out for Mandarin ducks and mute swans, both resident on the water. A tranquil area, this is a great picnic spot if you're hiking or cycling in the forest.
