Overview

An undulating walk along the meanders of the Wye with a choice of lengths, 5 or 10 miles. Starting by crossing the Wye on the old railway bridge, the route climbs to the highest point of Coppett Hill before descending along the ridge back to the Wye. The morning walkers will return upstream along the Wye whilst those walking all day will walk downstream to cross the Huntsham Bridge. The climb to Symonds Yat rock is energetic, but offers further stunning views before returning along the Wye Valley walk.
