Overview

This a circular walk from the main carpark in Monmouth up to the top of the nearby Kymin hill, with the naval monument., giving great views down to the town below. Leaving the car park we go through the main town and then down to the Wye bridge. Then the route follows part of the Wysis Way and goes through Highmeadow Woods, before descending to the pedestrian Biblin’s Bridge. Recrossing the river the route takes the Wye Valley Path along the riverbank back to the start
