Lion House Youth Hostel 1957
I stayed one night at this hostel in early April 1957. A friend and I had set out from our home town of Reading on a 5 night circular cycle trip - our first such trip. Mitcheldean was our second night's stop, the first being at the then Inglesham hostel north of Swindon.

The picture is just as I ...read more here

Over stands close by to Maisemore on the A40, encompassing the River Severn and the River Leadon. As we pass Over, one can call in at the Dog, a pleasant pub.
An extract from from"Gloucester Photographic Memories".
Maisemore village stands on the west bank of the River Severn. It is prone to flooding - in 2000, the White Hart pub was completely surrounded with water. A walk around Maisemore taking in the lake is very pleasing.
