View of South Gloucestershire and the River Severn

Highlight • Trail

West to east can be a bit scary off the brakes on a gravel bike, but quite fun on a trail or XC bike. Would recommend climbing from west to east though as you can take in some views that you can't see anywhere else! very pleasant but hidden route

A typical Cotswold mixed beech wood on the hill below Haresfield Beacon. The trails are brilliant fun to run, fast downhill and tough uphill. The Cotswold Way long distance trail goes through the woodland.
