Fedw Woods and Wye Valley Walk

 A joint walk with Clevedon Ramblers. This is a lovely walk through woodland and along the Wye Valley.  We start in Fedw wood and head towards Ravensnest Wood and pick up on part of the Angidy River where we will pass the Ancient Ironworks  in Tintern.  We then head up into Lower Hale and Upper Hale woods, from here we have a little road walking (quiet lane) and fields towards Botany Bay where we pick up on the Wye Valley Way which we follow down to the River Wye.  We cross over the river to Brockweir and follow the river back towards the village of Tintern.  Here we pick up on the Wye Valley Way again and pass the Tintern Limekilns which were used from the 1700s and out of use by 1902.  We then leave this trail and head across fields towards St Marys church  at Penterry, before re-entering the Fedw wood back to the start.

The terrain is a real mixture of good paths and rough paths, fields with some steep up and down sections, and some stiles.
