Overview

Can promise some new & very enjoyable terrain & exciting footpaths on this excursion…
Beginning at The Narth, we make our way via Whitebrook & Manor Wood to the famed “Boat Inn”, (at Redbrook), before returning to our startpoint via the delightful Penallt Church & Newmills.
Expect some very steep climbs, lots of stream-crossings & dense woodland, but with some lovely open-spaces intermingled - Great views of the Wye Valley are assured, along with some up-close walking beside the river itself!
Probably under 13m. in length, but nonetheless packs in almost 3,000ft. of ascent! You’ll certainly know you’ve done a decent days walk come the finish….!
