One of the walks we did in the Wye Valley. Set out from Browns Store in Llandogo, down to the river past a beutiful church then a steep stepped walk to the ridge. We were told this area has 1000 steps... but we didn't count! Fine views from the top, and descent zig-zag through the woods with waterfalls. Takes about 2 hours.

Dicen que Tolkien se inspiró aquí para escribir El Señor de los Anillos. Y debe de ser así porque el sitio tiene una atmósfera mágica. En especial el mirador de Symonds Yat, con su roca sobre el río con un paisaje increíblemente hermoso.

Visited wye valley, an area we hadnt explored before. The road from monmouth was very pretty. Stayed in small village of Brockweir, the last port on the river many years ago. stayed at property Monks Hall 14th cen brew house for the monks from tintern abbey, beautiful and only 39 steps door to door to local pub,the brockweir, which did good honest pub grub. the walk along th river to Tintern appx 2mls was lovely and flat!, also the old station along the route with a tea room.Will go again so much to see and do right on your door step. The walk taking in the old furnaces from Tintern was very pleasant and very little expolred.

We spent four days in Clearwell in The Forest Of Dean researching family history. It was not somewhere we had been before, but only an hour and a half drive from home it is virtually on the doorstep!! It has that "wow" factor, round every corner there is scenery that is absolutely stunning. The Forest itself has many hidden secrets and some tucked away little hamlets and villages that seem to be stuck in a time warp, in a good way though. Unspoilt and unchanged. Peaceful and serene. It was a real de-stressor. There are lots of activities for the adventurer in the Wye Valley and Symons Yat, rafting, bird watching, cycling and horse riding. Something for everyone.

Our first visit to the forest and we were not disappointed, plenty of facilities and walks to suit all abilities, i am not a big walker but really enjoyed the sculpture trail it made walking a bit more interesting.

We enjoyed a beautiful drive from Monmouth (cute, busy, friendly town on Saturday with a small open-air market and the oldest complete fortified medieval bridge) to Cardiff. The scenery through the forest that follows the meandering River Wye was really outstanding. Our map said it was a "scenic route" and they weren't kidding - gorgeous thick canopies of trees, the big green forest, lovely river valleys, emerald green meadows with grazing cattle and sheep, and some small quaint villages. Tintern Abbey is a must see! We're soooooooo glad we decided to include this drive in our plans. It's stunning in early Spring.

We had two great days visiting Symonds Yat , the first we went on a boat trip up the Wye and then a long walk through the woods(getting very lost)On the second day the children and hubby rented bikes (automatic and very easy to ride) and cycled up to the bridge and back. You hire them from the Hotel £5 per person. In the afternoon they all went on the river in canoes...and in the river! Great fun, lots of cafes and a pub, plenty of parking and places to sit, beautiful views. We then walked up to the rock on the footpath! Steep but worth the climb!

If you like forest and riverside walks you have to visit and do some of the trails. I'd recommend Symonds Yat East and Rock if you cross over Biblins bridge to West and turn left you enter some less used but more special trails through woodland. Also the Salmon Trail from Chepstow castle is amazing the woodland is full of moss and has interesting points along the walk such as a grotto and the giants Cave this was my favourite walk around 7 miles with great views as well.

My wife and I have just returned from a weeks break in gloucestershire and was recommended that we took the dog to Forest of Dean and have a go at the sculpture trail. The trail is 4.5 miles and takes about 2 hours to complete. We went on a Tuesday and only seen one other couple the whole walk, which made it even more tranquil. We really enjoyed the walk and really took it upon ourselves to find all the sculptures on the trail and I think we found all but one of them.If you fancy other walks you can pick from about 4-5 different trails and there is also cafe and toilet facilities at the start of the trails. You can also take short cuts on walks if you feel you have bitten off more than you can chew allowing escape routes if you get too tired. Along the sculpture trail there is a bench at most of the more obvious sculptures allowing a rest if needed.I would recommend a visit and at a cost of £3.50 for car parking (fees help with up keep of the forest) it is very reasonable.We loved it and the dog enjoyed it more than us

Beautiful scenery - what can I say. Lovely wibding roads, green hills and little houses perched on the sides of hills. If you are in that location, you have to go and take a look.
