New Fancy & Mallards Pike - Seven Wonders Of The Forest Of Dean Episode 3

On this easy walk we explore the forest along tracks that were once railway lines serving local coal mines. We then loop around beautiful Mallards Pike lake before climbing up to New Fancy viewpoint for a spectacular view over the trees.

I work in the construction of mallards pike lake whilst operating a bulldoze for the forestry commission we buried all the old free stumps in the top lake it was financed by a bond paid by the mining company that open casted Worrall green. I believe. Tony

Only just discovered your channel, and Ironically, we went to New Fancy today! But missed some of the interesting points in your informative video!! So we'll go again. How long does the walk from New Fancy to Mallards Pike take to walk and is it clearly signposted??
Thanks.
