Starting at the Old Train Station, will follow a path along the River Wye before walking through Tidenham Tunnel (1km long) which has a resident bat population - torches not required and are prohibited for this part. We will then make our way back to the woodland covering a section of the Offas Dyke path up to Devils Pulpit for views over Tintern Abbey before returning to the station.

Unless stated on the walk page, there is no need to sign up to join a walk. You’re very welcome to try out 1 or 2 walks before you join, but we do insist that after that you join the Brunel Walking Group.
On many walks you can just turn up at the meeting point where we will share lifts to the start of the walk. It’s OK if you don’t drive – we normally have enough drivers who are able to give lifts. Some walks you will need to make your way to walk start or you can post on our facebook group to ask if you can share a lift there.
