Overview

A moderate but lengthy walk from St Briavels across rolling countryside and woodlands with extensive views of the Wye Valley, a section of Offa's Dyke then ending in a steep climb from the valley floor and riverside back up to St Briavels. We visit the petrified brook with its renowned (but very small!) tufa waterfalls during the morning.
