Once again we visit the beautiful Wye Valley to take in more of its vast variety of paths.  Half of this walk is along the banks of the river Wye and the second half high up through the Bargain Wood and Coed Beddick on the Wye Valley path.  We leave Tintern and walk across the meadows to Brockweir passing the unique Moravian Church on the way.  Here we follow the Offas Dyke Path (river route) to Bigsweir.  On crossing the river the ambiance changes as we ascend to the Wye Valley Walk and turn South through lovely woodland.  The next target is Cleddon Falls which sit high above Llandogo. Sadly there will be little water at this time of year but dramatic none the less.  Finally we descend to Tintern and return to the cars.

Please bring a packed lunch
