Overview

We will start from St Briavels Castle and follow old tracks, field paths and quiet lanes through Hewelsfield, with its pretty church, down through Brockweir along the Wye and back up to the castle.  If the weather cooperates, there should be good views across the Severn and Wye valleys. If it has rained recently it will be muddy, and there is one shallow stream crossing, so poles are advisable. There are several stiles.
