Hiking guide – Wye Valley, Forrest of Dean (Wales) | Ordnance Survey – Pathfinder Guides
The Pathfinder Guide of the Wye Valley and the Dean Forest contains 28 circular walks for all levels. The hikes are 4 km to 17 km long. Each route includes a level of difficulty, routes, an excerpt from the Ordnance Survey map as well as notes and key photos. All have been created and tested by experienced hikers to help you make the most of the region.
This guide focuses on the average and lower parts of the Wye Valley, about to the point where the river leaves its higher course in the center of Wales to enter the Herefordshire. Hay – on – Wye, Hereford and the fortified city of Chepstow are also covered, as well as the classic view of the sinuous Wye Valley of Symonds Yat. We often find impressive ruins of medieval castles, striking reminder of the old war in the region.
