Coaley Peak


Coaley Peak is a picnic site and viewpoint in the English county of Gloucestershire.
Located about south-west of the town of Stroud overlooking the village of Coaley, Coaley Peak offers of reclaimed farmland with views over the Severn Vale and the Forest of Dean. It is next to a Woodland Trust beech wood and the National Trust's Frocester Hill site. The Cotswold Way long-distance footpath passes through the site. The site includes the excavated Neolithic burial site Nympsfield Long Barrow.
Coaley Peak was for many years a seasonal home to a community of new age travellers, who were evicted around 2002 to make way for more grassland.
