Walks in the Forest of Dean

The hamlet of Green Bottom is effectively a clearing within the north east corner of the Royal Forest of Dean, so it is surrounded by public access woodland. However, being near the edge of the Forest, the many footpaths from the hamlet are not all woodland walks. Local footpaths to the east are through woods, pasture land, valleys, over hills and along streamsides.

East: a footpath though fields and pastureland leads to Flaxley and continues along Westbury Brook
North east: 500 metres along the Flaxley path a footpath heads north through Welshbury Wood - a Forestry Commission open access wood.
South east: South of Welshbury Wood is Chestnuts Inclosure and Chestnuts hill, also Forestry Commission open access woodland.
South west a footpath past Green Bottom Pumping Station leads to Cinderford: less that 1½ miles!
North is Tanner's Hill - open access woodland
