Saturday 23 to Tuesday 26 October
​Chepstow Walking Festival

Chepstow Walking Festival is back! 22 walks over 4 days to experience the best of Autumn in the Lower Wye Valley. For full programme details visit our Festival pages.

Tuesday 21 September 11:30
Goldcliff Foreshore Walk

Join Professor Martin Bell for a foreshore walk introducing the archaeology of Goldcliff.  The way the landscape has changed will be introduced including  the contrasting types of sediment laid down 120 thousand years ago in the last interglacial,  deposits from the last ice age, the silts, peats and submerged forests that have built up in the last 8,000 years.  Within these deposits are a number of archaeological sites,  most of which are from Mesolithic hunter-gatherer-fishers  c 8000-6000 years ago. We will look for any evidence of flint objects left by them and search for the footprints of Mesolithic people and birds in the silts.  Conditions are highly variable from one tide to the next so it is unpredictable what we will find.  There will be a brief introduction to recording techniques in an intertidal environment.  The later Roman and medieval history of the Goldcliff area will also be briefly introduced. ​

Friday 24 to Sunday 26 September

We would love to welcome you to the Ross-on-Wye Walking Festival this year.  Ross is an accredited Walkers are Welcome town and our Festival reflects the friendly nature of our welcome in this largely undiscovered area of South Herefordshire.  We are blessed with the ability to take you off the beaten track on a real variety of gentle to medium walks aimed at all abilities – led by informed and enthusiastic people with a fount of local knowledge.  Some walks have wonderful special interest themes or activities, while others just explore the natural beauty around our quirky town.
