We host lots of walking groups who love this walk 🚶

Honestly, this view never gets old! This is from Offa's D**e Path that runs from the River Severn in the south in Gloucestershire along the River Wye north to Monmouth in Wales and then travels north west towards Abergavenny and the Brecon Beacons. There are many small sections which can be completed in a few hours or a day, including around some of the most beautiful sections of the Wye Valley such as the Devil's Pulpit overlooking Tintern Abbey, Wintour's Leap, Brockweir, Redbrook and Tidenham Chase. 🌿

In spring there are lots of beautiful bluebells to see, and it's the perfect spot for a bit of leaf peeping to see the fiery colours throughout Autumn! 🍁

Hikers love it and it's the ideal place for wildlife spotting too, having amazing views for miles, all the way to Wales! Check our website for walking maps if you're planning your next adventure. 🥾

A lovely spot well worth a visit 👍

Soudley Ponds also known as Sutton Ponds, comprises of four linked man-made ponds lined in succession through the narrow Sutton Valley, and surrounded by stands of tall Douglas Fir. It is a 7.04-hectare (17.4-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest notified in 1984.

The ponds were formerly believed to have been dug in the 18th century to provide water to the furnaces in the Soudley Valley and at the nearby Camp Mill.

In fact these would have been fed from the Soudley Brook, and from the Tilting Mill Pool, now in the grounds of the Dean Heritage Centre. It has also been erroneously claimed that they were dug long before this as fish ponds by the monks of the nearby Flaxley Abbey.

However, Atkinson’s map of 1847 shows only a stream running through the valley where the ponds now lie, and it is nowadays assumed that they were created as fish ponds after the land’s 1836 purchase by mine-owner William Crawshay.

In 1899 the ponds, along with the rest of the Abbotswood Estate, were sold by Robert Crawshay, William’s son, to the Crown, from which point they were leased for fishing to private individuals.

It was only in 1906 that the ponds became as they are today, following the work of Arthur Morgan, who had that year acquired the lease of the ponds, and after whom the lowest of the ponds is still locally known as Morgan’s Pool.

Now in the care of Forestry England, and declared an Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) by Natural England, the ponds are one of the Forest of Dean’s most delightful spots, particularly in Spring and in Autumn, and are still used by the anglers of the Soudley Fishing Consortium.
