Overview

The walk begins with a long upwards flight of steps of varying widths! We follow tracks through a hidden valley and then climb at first fairly steeply and then gradually up to Offa's Dyke long distance path. The path goes through Highbury Wood Nature Reserve and then goes steeply down with good views of the River Wye and Redbrook. We return to Redbrook down the long flight of steps.
