Join me for a relaxed ride through the Forest of Dean countryside into the market town of Coleford on my classic Pashley bicycle.

Instead of my usual gravel bike adventure, today’s ride is all about a slow relaxing afternoon cycling, enjoying the views and a little bit of shopping.

I cycle into town, stop for a delicious coffee at The Art of Coffee, have a wander around the local shops and simply enjoy a slower paced day.

It’s a reminder that not every ride has to be about distance or speed. Sometimes it’s just about getting out on the bike and enjoying where it takes you.

Thanks for coming along! If you enjoyed the ride, please consider liking the video and subscribing for more cycling adventures from the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley.

🚲 Bike: Pashley 3-speed Loop Frame
☕ Coffee stop: The Art of Coffee, Coleford
📍 Location: Coleford, Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire

  1. That’s a lovely little video Hatty 😊
    I wish I had more time whilst I was there to visit some shops in Coleford but thanks for showing us around , I’ll definitely pay that record shop a visit next time !
    That’s great that you can cycle the whole way pretty much on that track away from the road. Perfect for your shopping bike. You should have given us a twirl in your nice outfit 😅😂

  2. I don't usually leave comments like this, but after watching a few of your videos, I felt it was worth mentioning. I can see genuine effort behind what you're creating, yet I also noticed a couple of opportunities that may be limiting your growth without you realizing it. The encouraging part is that they're fixable. If you're open to it, I'd be happy to share the observations I made about your channel.

  3. Nice little ride, the Forest is not an area I’m really familiar with, unlike the Wye area, especially around Hay, my grandmother and both her parents, my great-grandparents were from Drybrook
