Beschrijving

Robinswood Hill is a green space on the south-east side of Gloucester that rises to 198m and offers extensive views across the Severn Vale, Cotswolds and over to the Forest of Dean. Robinswood Hill country park extends to 100 hectares, all cared for by Gloucester City Council. The country park has wildflower meadows and a woodland. The wider country park has traditional orchards and ponds. The quarry is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) on account the layers of rock that date back to from the Jurassic period.

Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust own 100 hectares which is a small proportion of the hill. The varied landscape attracts a wide variety of birds helped by the residents living on the lower slopes feeding them. Bats are fequently seen. Paths can be steep and wet in winter. Many paths wind their way around the hill. You can easily spend more than a day exploring the area.
