Join our partners from the Long Distance Walkers Association for a spectacular longer distance route exploring the very best of the Wye Valley in Autumn. Where possible the route follows lesser used paths to take in Beacon Hill, Vicar's Allotment, Bigweir Bridge and Hewelsfield prior to descending back to Tintern. Stunning views over the Wye Valley and (weather permitting) across to the Black Mountains and the Forest of Dean.
