Overview

Starting at the Haugh Woods car park the route takes us through one of the most geologically important and interesting areas in Herefordshire. From the start point we work our way south to Woolhope village with its interesting church and then on to Alford's Mill and loop around to Buckenhill  Wood. Joining the Wye Valley Walk  we head north above Fownhope and then cross the valley and work our way through a section of Haugh Woods and back to the start.
