This walk is in the past.
This walk takes advantage of the removal of the bridge toll to start in the historic old port of Newnham on the banks of the Severn. We go south along the bank of the Severn before turning up into the edge of the Forest of Dean where we get magnificent views of the Severn, the Cotswold escarpment and Gloucester. After lunch we have the opportunity to stop for tea at the Dean Heritage Centre before returning to Newnham. Although there are a number of gentle climbs there is only one steep hill. It could be muddy in a few places.
The walk leader will meet you in Newnham. Please self-organise lift shares on the day and call when leaving at 09.10.
Bring packed lunch. Pub to finish.
