Friday Walk 1. Chase Wood

Pleasant walk through fields and woodland.  Great views of the town of Ross-on-Wye.  Pass the ancient water supply for Ross as well as an Iron Age Fort (Private).  Some lane walking.

Friday Walk  2. Joyce’s Walk

This is a circular walk on the edge of the Forest of Dean. It passes through woods and fields to Hope Mansell with its interesting old church. After going through the village there is a steady climb followed by a section of lane walking. The views on this walk are superb and the peace and tranquility of the Herefordshire countryside should not be missed. The walk is named after a member of Ross-on-Wye Ramblers who devised it.

Saturday Walk 1. Monmouth to Kerne Bridge

Stage one of an (optional) 2-day walk from Monmouth to Ross.  Following the Wye Valley Walk, enjoy Wyastone Leys, a riverside house with a recording studio and concert hall. Cross the river at The Biblins via the suspension bridge. Continue via Symonds Yat and pass Welsh Bicknor Youth Hostel and a derelict factory with a fascinating history. Then follow water meadows and woodland to arrive at Kerne Bridge.
