"Outdoor activities and forest trails around a beautiful lake in the Forest of Dean."
Overview
The beautiful lake and woodland at Mallards Pike in the Forest of Dean is a great spot for outdoor activities; from gentle lakeside strolls, taking to the trees on the Go Ape highropes, or trying the Gruffalo orienteering course, to running or cycling on trails that take you deep into the forest. The lakeside Mallards café has outdoor seating. There is also chargeable parking.

About the area
Gloucestershire is home to a variety of landscapes, including the Cotswolds, a region of gentle hills, valleys and gem-like villages that roll through the county. To their west is the Severn Plain, watered by Britain’s longest river and characterised by orchards and farms marked out by hedgerows that blaze with mayflower in the spring; beyond the Severn are the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley.
