Overview

A  mainly flat walk along the River Wye and part of the disused Hereford to Ross railway to, see the sand martins nesting in the far river bank. Bring binoculars, if you have them. We then leave the river and walk up the hill to Townsend Farm, run by RegenBen. From the farm we walk through the village of Brampton Abbots and take a footpath across fields back to the old railway and back to the river. With good views from the footpath, on a clear day.
