Cannop Ponds – Forest Of Dean

Cannop Ponds

Here’s an idyllic place to visit this Summer… Cannop Ponds is quite a magical place for paddling in streams that amble amongst the forest – take a towel!  There is an abundance of a different variety of birds ideal for bird watching and if you are very lucky you may come across some wild boar which regularly visit the site.

Facilities at the ponds include a large car park, information boards, picnic tables and a way marked walk. There is a burger van serving hot and cold food and drinks. Parking is free. The ponds also feature on the Forest of Dean Family Cycle Trail so is an ideal place for bike riding. The ponds are used for fishing.

Cannop Ponds are situated just off New Road in the Forest Of Dean (here’s a MAP).

Instagram post 2195568593500255553_20180382 13 years ago today you were born, 13 years ago today we said goodbye. I remember it like it was yesterday & always will, it will always be the most vividly remembered day of our lives, it seemed so unfair that xmas lights shone everywhere but the twinkle in your eyes went unseen. You left the world as you came into our lives but you did not leave it untouched, you left with us a better appreciation of life, a clearer view of the world & a better ability to see what's important.  We held you, we kissed you, we made sure we treasured every second that we were given to say goodbye, I still feel you, the memory of your coldness on my lips. The void is still there but today we smile for you, laugh for you, feel the sun for you, exude love for you. Everyday we remember you. Everyday we miss you, everyday you fleet through our thoughts & everyday you're nestled in our hearts. Today is your day. 
Happy 13th birthday Holly, we miss you baby, we miss who you would of been. 💚

Mum & Dad.
