This walk is in the past.
We'll walk the Wye Valley up from Chepstow Castle as far as Tintern Abbey, taking a look at the ruins of Piercefield House and climbing to the Eagle's Nest along the way.
We'll return to Chepstow along the other side of the valley, admiring the views of Tintern from the Devil's Pulpit.
There are some steep climbs up and down the sides of the valley (over 900m of ascent and descent), you'll need to be okay with heights, and there may be cows in one of two of the fields along the way. Styles, mud & uneven ground are to be expected, so walking boots are recommended. There may be a little rain...
There are (at least) 3 pubs nearby in Chepstow, so we can pick one for a post-walk beverage.
Chepstow parking £1.20 on a Sunday.
If we have more drivers than necessary from St Mary Redcliffe, cars can be left for free on some nearby single yellow lines. Failing that we can stop off at the Trinity Centre car park on the way where parking is £1.50 on a Sunday.
Bring packed lunch. Pub to finish.
