Woodchester Park blue trail

This is the shortest Woodchester Park from the National Trust car park, following the Blue woodland trail into the beautiful beech woodland. There is a gentle climb to the top of the trail before it brings you back down to Woodchester Mansion and back to the car park. The paths can be muddy in the Winter but there are some lovely views over the valley.

Woodchester Park orange trail
3.75 miles

This Woodchester Park walk starts at the National Trust car park and takes you along the Orange route which starts with a walk along wooded valley paths and past the impressive Woodchester Mansion and parkland. The walk also passes the old boathouse and follows the route around the lakes before heading back through the woodland to the car park. There are some beautiful views during the course of the walk. There are some steep sections and the paths may become muddy in bad weather.

Woodchester Park red trail
6.75 miles

This is the longest Woodchester Park walk and it's a substantial walk around the Red route. It starts with a gentle climb through the beech woodland forest, passing Woodchester Manor, parkland and boathouse. The walk takes you around the ponds and across pasture and further woodlands, providing some beautiful views across the valley. The walk is steep in places and the woodland trails can become muddy.
