National Trust - Woodchester Park

"One of my favourite places in the stroud area to go for walk with the dog or with friends. The trails take between 1.5 to 2.5 hours to do depending on which route you take and walking speed but you wont be able to deny the views here are amazing especially in autumn when the leaves are different shades of yellow and red. The mansion itself is always good to visit if the tea rooms are open. Yes it is haunted and yes there are ghost tours for the place which i recommend. The lakes are beautiful, there are normally some fisherman on them. Overall the place is great if you fancy a small hike or you want to tire the kids/ dogs out. In season tickets at car park are £3 for all day. An i believe the gates are open til 8pm"

"Beautiful park and woodlands, with suggested walks of varying lengths to suit people of all abilities, woodland play trail, meadows and paths leading down the valley to Woodchester mansion & series of ponds further along. The mansion (managed by a separate trust) is a amazing place to discover with a fascinating history. Highly recommened to visit!"

"Lovely woodland and lake walk. I am looking forward to visiting the house the next time I visit. If you are bringing dogs there are some areas with grazing animals where you'll need to put them on lead but also plenty of areas where they can be under close control but no leads."

"Beautiful scenic walk. Thoroughly enjoyed the wooded area where the Forrest floor had a blanket of white flowers ❤️ also great walk for dogs."
