A wonderful walk from Rhyd-y-Benwich to Chepstow along the Anglo-Welsh Border and through Wales.
From £375 per person
Follow the River Wye along the Anglo-Welsh border all the way to the coast on the Wye Valley Walk. This trail is full of contrasts, from deep limestone gorges capped with ancient woodland to the water meadows and apple orchards of Herefordshire.
Some steep, rocky sections may provide a mild challenge, but the walk keeps primarily to easy pathways through gently undulating countryside. The Wye Valley Walk is an intensely green and enjoyable venture that walkers of all interests will enjoy.
We offer multiple holiday options along this trail. If you wish to experience the entire trail, simply select the first option from the list below.
Dogs are welcome on select routes along this trail. Look for the pawprint icon when choosing your holiday.
From £375 per person
Explore both banks of the Wye between Chepstow and Monmouth on this low mileage tour. The trail features spectacular viewpoints to admire nature flourishing on the river at Wintours Leap, the Devil’s Pulpit, Eagle’s Nest and Kymin Hill.
Human history is well-represented too, with several castles to visit, a unique medieval gateway leading the way into Monmouth, and the romantic ruin of Tintern Abbey awaiting a visit. This is a truly verdant space; this ancient woodland contains the finest selection of native British trees to be found anywhere in the wild.
