Starting from Tintern Abbey, we will reach the first viewpoint of the day, the Devil’s pulpit. The Offa’s Dyke path will then lead us to Brockweir, from where we will continue towards Whitestone. Here we will have lunch admiring the Wye Valley and its beautiful woods. We will then continue on the Wye Valley Walk path to spot the Severn Bridge from the Duchess Ride, before heading towards Beacon Hill, giving us a glimpse of the Brecon Beacons. We will walk back to Tintern crossing tiny villages and lush woods. This walk has 1000m of total ascent but only a few steep sections.
Bring packed lunch, pub to finish.
Meet 8.30 at the Water Tower, Clifton.
Alternative meet point: 9.30 at Tintern Abbey. Please contact the walk leader if meeting here.
Walk leader: Andrea I ( (Phone number removed) )

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,
