Overview

Starting in Tintern at the old Wireworks we head west up the valley taking in ancient industrial landscape towards Devauden where we then head south through Chepstow Park Woods. Eventually we turn east towards St Arvans and work our way towards the Wye Valley walk. Following the Wye Valley walk north, the final challenge of the Eagles Nest awaits before a leisurely stroll back to the car.,W3W: occur.frizz.delight If bad weather is forecast please check the group website (fodramblers.org.uk) to confirm that the walk is going ahead
