Great little pump track for your madskillz or taking the kids to. Better than the average pump track, has an optional 'intermediate' section.

August 11, 2024,Nailsworth/Stonehouse/Stoud Loop via Stroud Valley Trail and Stroudwater Canal

Small free car park at the start of the Mercian Way off station road. Otherwise, parking is available in the centre of Nailsworth. A nice varied ride with a combination of off-road routes, canals, and cycle paths.
