Overview

We start with a long climb up along woodland tracks and moorland before heading down to join the Wye Valley Walk, passing Biblins Bridge and continuing on towards the “Rapids” before our ascent back up to the top. Our return takes us past King Arthur’s Cave before we descend back down to the start.
