Overview

An old favourite walk in the lovely Wye Valley. Much of it is on old roads, which are packhorse trails really and these can be grassy, muddy and wet, or rubbly and rough. Nonetheless we know we are walking in the footsteps and hoofsteps of traders carrying supplies and minerals up or down the sides of the Wye valley. There are great views as we walk through pretty countryside with a good chance of seeing wildlife, including birds of prey.
