The Clumps, located in Gloucestershire, is a picturesque woodland area known for its natural beauty and abundant wildlife. Situated in the Forest of Dean, this wooded landscape is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers alike.

The Clumps gets its name from the two distinctive hills that dominate the area, known as "The Sling" and "The Yat." These hills provide stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, making them a favorite spot for hikers and photographers. The woodland itself is a mix of oak, beech, and conifer trees, creating a diverse and vibrant ecosystem.

Visitors to The Clumps can expect to encounter a variety of wildlife, including deer, foxes, and numerous bird species. The area is particularly renowned for its population of nightingales, whose melodic songs can be heard during the spring and summer months.

In addition to its natural beauty, The Clumps also holds historical significance. The forest has a rich mining heritage, with evidence of iron ore extraction dating back to the Roman times. Ruins of old mine buildings can still be found scattered throughout the woods, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the area.

Whether you're looking to immerse yourself in nature, capture breathtaking views, or explore the region's history, The Clumps in Gloucestershire offers a peaceful and enchanting experience for all who visit.

Fallen idles. The one in the foreground is about 1m from the current route of Gloucestershire footpath KBY18 and a wooden stile. The pile due North near the horse are similarly close to a farm track. At least one of these groups was probably the remains of a stone stile. An old farm house called Upper Severalls is to the NW, Ablington further NNW. The field beyond the hedges is the site of Rowberrow Camp, a series of ditches surrounding several small tumps.
