Overview

We walk down a forestry track to find St Anthony’s healing well in the woods and return via Shapridge through a quiet valley to the pretty hamlet of Abenhall, and up a steep lane to return to the car park.

Mostly woods and meadows, with a little road walking. A few stiles.

If coming from Mitcheldean on the A4136 Mitcheldean to Monmouth road, turn right at the sign to ‘Wilderness’, at the top of the climb up Plump Hill (about 1 mile out of Mitcheldean). The woodland car park is on the left about 150 yards up this lane.
