Wye to Severn (A)

This walk mostly follows Offa’s Dyke path and Gloucestershire Way. Starting from The Park car park on B4228, we head for Offa’s Dyke path and walk along the old hill route up toward St Briavels Common until Bigsweir bridge, briefly stopping to view the ruins of Tintern Abbey from the Devil’s Pulpit. Then we turn east away from Offa’s Dyke path climbing up to St Briavels, where we have our lunch stop (pub available). After lunch we head south/south east in the direction of the river Severn to follow Gloucestershire Way up to Poor's Allotment nature reserve, after which we turn back to the carpark. Fine views of Wye valley and river Severn, if the weather is good. The total altitude is approximately 2700 feet.
