Highlights
There are undoubtedly few rivers in the UK that come anywhere near to the beauty of the River Wye. The fifth longest river in the UK rises in the remote uplands of Mid Wales and flows through often mind-blowing scenery to the Severn Estuary. We will meet you in central Cardiff and transport you to this tranquil and iconic valley. This relatively easy 3.5 mile walk passes through ancient woodland, historic villages, and along the banks of the majestic and serene river. You can enter the almost 900 year old Tintern Abbey, one of the most impressive ancient monuments in Wales, attracting visitors from all over the world.
