Overview

Starting off in Tintern we’ll cross over the Wye and walk beside the river along what was the Wye valley line before climbing up through woodland to reach the Devil’s Pulpit viewpoint. From here there are views across the valley back towards Tintern Abbey.

We’ll then continue along the Offa’s Dyke path and descend gradually before returning to the start through a series of riverside meadows.
