We are the Lower Wye Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A picturesque walk, starting from Goodrich Castle car park, before dropping down alongside the River Wye as it enters the steep sided valley towards Lydbrook. Apart from the usual swans, ducks and canoeists there is always a good chance of seeing a Kingfisher fly past, making its distinctive call. The route continues to follow the river downstream, passing below Symonds Yat rock, before climbing gently along the lower edge of Coppett Hill nature reserve and returning back to Goodrich village.

Goodrich Castle car park. If coming via Monmouth take the A40 north to Whitchurch, and then turn off left onto A4137 signposted Hereford, then immediately turn right signposted Goodrich. Cross over the dual carriageway then immediately turn left still signposted Goodrich onto the B4229. Follow the signs for the castle from the B4229 at Goodrich, part way between Whitchurch and Kerne Bridge.
