Wye Valley Short Break - Circular

Explore both banks of the Wye between Chepstow and Monmouth on this low mileage tour. The trail features spectacular viewpoints to admire nature flourishing on the river at Wintours Leap, the Devil’s Pulpit, Eagle’s Nest and Kymin Hill.

Human history is well-represented too, with several castles to visit, a unique medieval gateway leading the way into Monmouth, and the romantic ruin of Tintern Abbey awaiting a visit. This is a truly verdant space; this ancient woodland contains the finest selection of native British trees to be found anywhere in the wild.
