Overview

Join us as we walk north west along the Wye Valley Walk, through beautiful woodland, taking time to enjoy Cleddon Falls and several viewpoints. 

A steep descent brings us to Bigsweir Bridge, crossing the River Wye, where we start a steep climb south along the upper Offa's Dyke Path. There are many viewpoints, a variety of woodland and babbling brooks. The descent to Brockweir is more gentle. There's an opportunity to look at the Moravian chapel before crossing back over the Wye.

We expect a variety of spring flowers too!

Please note that booking is essential for this walk. Please send Don a quick text to 07544 560998.
