Crickley Hill Country Park

Outstanding views as soon as you get there, then a short stroll to the Cotswold way for even more views! You can quite happily and easily stand there for half an hour picking out landmarks down below.

What an amazing place! Absolutely loved it here. Fantastic views from the Cotswold escarpment, all the way to Brecon beacons on a clear day.There are toilets by the carpark & cafe and information hub.Really great walk to be had, so many paths to explore. I started behind the cafe, for a lush autumnal forest walk, carried on past the cricket ground, exited the park to join a bridleway and then doubled back, finishing with the cows on the escarpment.Recommend to anyone. There is also a fascinating iron age hill fort!!

Beautiful views. Lovely hidden gem. Lovely little cafe. Serves dog ice cream.

Inexpensive parking, friendly cafe (really nice ice cream) with nice clean loos and a dog bowl. A variety of walks and stunning views out west and south. Some picnic tables on some of the walks. Doggos welcome too (including poo-bins). No playground that I could see. I was too engrossed to take any pics but I recommend you go take your own. Enjoy.

Nice views, especially on a cloudy day. Bring a coat that can protect you against the wind, it is always windy! You can choose the forest routes to escape the wind but you then dont have the view.

Fabulous views. Good, well marked walks. Ample parking and very reasonably priced (£2). Lovely cafe, very personable team. A very good visit and definitely somewhere that we will be heading back to in the future.

Some great walks, plenty of variety from woodland to rocky outcrops and flats paths and some steep climbs. Easy to park and only £2. Nice little cafe - all in its great for exploring with the dogs and the kids.

Such a beautiful place, positioned high above the city of Gloucester and the Severn Plain, the views are beautiful from Crickley Hill Country Park (which is jointly managed by Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust and the National Trust). More than 1,300 species have been recorded there, from rare birds, butterflies and reptiles to wildflowers and toadstools according to their website. Crickley Hill is recognised as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for its diversity of wildflowers and geology, I saw so much, you don’t have to go too far from the car park to prove all this.In ancient times people lived and worked there, with evidence found of a Iron Age hill fort and much history before and after that too.There is a cafe there just as you enter the main carpark area, you’ll need to check the times and dates it is open. They do an array of good quick lunch options, tea and coffee. If you need to spend a penny too, there are toilet facilities at the same location.Worth a visit, beautiful views all year round, the clearer the day the further and more you can see.Make sure to leave only your footprints in this beautiful place, where our ancestors also left theirs.

Nice area for a walk and a picnic! Scenic views. Car park costs £2 until midnight.

A very special place! Thank you the wildlife trust for looking after it so well.Thanks also to Natasha in the cafe, we love seeing you on our walks for a coffee and a dog ice cream.
