This walk is in the past.

This is an enjoyable walk along parts of the Offa’s Dyke border path, with some great views of Tintern Abbey and the Wye Valley River. There will be a few inclines up to Devil’s pulpit. We will stop half way for lunch (bring packed lunch) and finish at the Anchor Inn for a drink.

Please bring hiking boots, warm clothes and full waterproofs. The paths can be muddy and slippery this time of year.

For those not travelling direct, meet at the watertower at 10.00, to then drive to Wireworks Car Park, Tintern NP16 6TQ for a walk start time of 11.00.

How do I join the walk?

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. 

If sharing lifts passengers are expected to contribute towards petrol costs. Please bring coins or be prepared to make a bank transfer. As a guide, 30p/mile shared by everyone in the car. 

How do I know what to bring? And am I fit enough?

We provide a full recommended kit list here.  Please do bring water, a rainproof jacket, walking trousers (or similar) and walking shoes/boots – avoid jeans and trainers.

Walks are graded as either 1 boot, 2 boot or 3 boot.  Read more about choosing the right walk for your fitness level here,
