Overview

This circular walk from Caldicot Castle offers splendid views of both Severn crossings and the Bristol Channel. We walk around Caldicot then along the coastal path, under the new Severn bridge and up to St Pierre Golf Club. The footpath takes us through the golf club and back towards the coast. We return to Caldicot on an inland footpath, passing a long barrow and St Mary’s Church before returning to Caldicot Castle. 

This is a level walk mostly on footpaths with 2 or 3 stiles, one in poor condition and some fields and possibly cattle. 

Care needs to be taken crossing the golf course. 

 

One overgrown path has been reported to Monmouthshire Council, hopefully it will be cleared. I would advise having over trousers in your pack just in case!
