About the trail

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.

Wye Valley Walk - North section

Winding valleys and the wild Cambrian Mountains saturate this half of the Wye Valley Walk with spectacular scenery. It’s the perfect trail for anyone more interested in the open moorland of Mid-Wales, where red kites might be spotted wheeling overhead, or the lush farmland and rugged hills on the way to Llangurig.

The route’s crowning glory is arguably Plynlimon, the highest point in the Cambrian Mountains and the source of the Wye river. Here, you’ll spy the five heads of Plynlimon and see out across Wales all the way to the coastline on a clear day.
