Wye Valley Walk - South Section

Picturesque riverside scenery surrounds you on this winding walk through the meadows of Herefordshire and the border woodlands.

This leg of the Wye Valley Walk hosts Chepstow Castle, presiding on the cliffs high over the river, and the romantic ruin of Tintern Abbey, not to mention plenty of border towns steeped in history. Hay-on-Wye is even known as the ‘town of books’ as it’s the home of over thirty second-hand and antiquarian bookshops!

This is a wonderfully lively walking holiday with plenty of things to see and do between dreamy stints walking on the riverbank.
