Back in Gloucestershire, but the slightly bonkers part, between the Severn and the Wye, otherwise known as the Forest of Dean (“The Forest” to locals). Here, sheep wander freely through towns and on railway lines, and nature is slowly reclaiming areas of Victorian industrialisation. We usually avoid published walks, preferring to do our own thing, but we made an exception today. See http://bhwalk.uk. We started at Bream and did a circular route via the railway station at Whitecroft.
