I’m about to move and would love some tips on places to ride near Stroud/Gloucester…

Good move, plenty of stuff round here.

Randwick/Standish woods
Cranham/Buckholt woods and Painswick beacon
Selsley/Penn woods
Stinchcombe woods
North Nibley
Leckhampton

You could try looking up Bigfoot MBC, a good club with friendly people and a good way to learn what’s around

FoD isn’t far either, and the off-piste there is excellent and there’s so much of it along with the marked XC stuff and DH runs its a great place to ride

All good advice above. If you like long rides much can be strung together. Or it’s easy to play for 2 hrs in the woods!

just what i like to here, thanks. i bought a bike from slam69 near Gloucester and they mentioned the trails but wanted to see what people on here thought. loving Singltrack forum.
I’ll checkout Bigfoot MBC too.
