Overview

Starting from St Peter’s Peter’s Church on Dixton Lane, we walk along the Wye and a bit of road towards the Kymin for a stunning view of Monmouth from the Roundhouse and Naval Temple. We then go through scenic woodland and the rock formations of the Suck Stone and Near Hearkening, with a few ups and downs before crossing the wobbly Biblins Bridge at Symonds Yat. The return journey follows the River Wye back St Peter's Church.
