The Wye Valley and Welsh Borders offer walking of a quieter kind — gentle, scenic, and steeped in depth. Here, the River Wye winds between wooded hills and limestone cliffs, while old market towns, abbey ruins, and castle towers rise from green pastures. This is a place of slow beauty and rich layers — a frontier that has always invited exploration.
The walking is varied and rewarding: riverside rambles, hilltop views, forest trails, and heritage routes that drift between two nations and many centuries. It's a region made for reflection, for following footpaths into story, and for pausing beside the water to watch the world pass quietly by.
Follow one of Britain’s most beautiful long-distance paths, tracing the River Wye from source to sea — past Tintern Abbey, Symonds Yat, wooded slopes and sweeping bends.
Walk along the ancient earthwork that once marked the border between Wales and England — a ridge trail rich in views and historic echoes.
Explore leafy trails, iron-age forts, and sculpture-studded paths just east of the Wye — where borderland landscapes blend beauty and surprise.
