We are the Lower Wye Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Phil & James
A walk along peaceful paths and tracks, partly alongside the River Wye, before a wooded climb leads towards open fields and quiet lanes past the hamlet of Brockhampton with its unusual thatched church. From there the route leads to Capler Camp, an iron age hill fort with preserved ramparts. Having reached the highest point of the walk, 140m above the river, footpaths across farmland and through Pagets Wood nature reserve lead back to the start point, maybe with a stop off at the historically interesting Fownhope church just before the end.
Bring a packed lunch
Chepstow Leisure Centre car park. Car share places cannot be guaranteed. Post on WhatsApp if wanting or offering car share. Car share levy £5.00. Or go directly to the start point.
From Ross on Wye take the A449 and then B4224 towards Hereford. On reaching Fownhope turn left into Caple Lane immediately after the church. The start point and car park are at the recreation ground signed as "Recreation Field and Parking River Wye" on the right 200m after turning into Caple Lane.
