New Fancy View

New Fancy View, Gloucestershire, England

11.66 KM

A wander through the Forest of Dean starting at New Fancy View Point and returning via Speech House Lake. The lake was quite flooded on the day we visited, in October 2021, and we had to retrace our steps in order to find a place to cross one of the many streams.
