Overview

Only a 35 minute drive from Kingswood, we will enjoy a walk through the industrial landscape of the Wye Valley. 

We will walk through the scenic Angidy Valley to Abbey Tintern Furnace, passing numerous industrial remains along the way.  After a short climb up through Glyn Woods we will then walk back down the wooded valleyside to the River Wye, passing the ruined remains of St Mary’s Church and the iconic Tintern Abbey.

Some uneven ground and could be muddy if we have had any rain.  Sticks and walking boots recommended.
