Great place for dogs and children

This is an inland lake set up as a beach on one side with a walk all around the lake. There is amble parking (some on the other side of the road and walk through a foot tunnel). Very clean water - dogs can swim in certain areas (out the way)

Just up the road is a supermarket with cheap fuel.

Very large pub

We did not go the woods, but there was a walk right next to the pub and a shallow clean stream.

The lion pub has a massive outdoor seating area and welcomes dogs inside.

Easy walking

Not far off the A30 and a large (pay) car park next to numerous walks and a cafe. The paths are very well maintained and suitable for pushchairs. Lots of different circular walks and streams for dogs to paddle in.

We did a walk, had lunch and then did another walk. Also a Morrison’s fuel and shop nearby.

June 2021

We parked at the pub and walked up the road to the Gloucester canal which has a wide walking towpath. We walked west, crossed over the canal and walked back to the pub across the fields. It took about 1 hour. The pub has outdoor seating and a old fashioned bar area where dogs can go (they also have a restaurant -no dogs). The food was typical pub grub. The 'locals' in the bar were very friendly.
