We are the Lower Wye Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Shortly after the start, this leisurely paced walk follows a narrow path high above the Dean Heritage Centre, then drops down into the village of Soudley. The Blue Rock Trail with its wooden sculptures and new river improvement works leads to Ruspidge, from where we climb steadily through Staple Edge Wood to one of the high points of the Forest with extensive views across the woods. From there the route drops back down through the woods back to the start.
Bring a drink and a snack
Park at the side of the minor road (Bradley Hill), just off the highest point of the road from Blackpool Bridge to Soudley. If travelling from Chepstow take the A48 past Lydney, then turn left on entering Blakeney (signposted Parkend). After nearly 2 miles turn right at Blackpool Bridge, passing under an old railway bridge. If travelling from Monmouth / Coleford, head to Parkend, then take the road to Blakeney. After 3 miles turn left at Blackpool Bridge, passing under an old railway bridge.
