Wye Valley Short Break - South Section

Crisscross the Anglo-Welsh border on woodland tracks, disused railway lines and riverside paths. This short break samples the southernmost section of the Wye Valley Walk, filled with enticing sights and varying terrain that make this a fantastic option for those looking for a shorter holiday.

The varied terrain here hosts dramatic waterfalls and historic architecture, including the New Weir Ironworks and Wyastone Leys Country House. There are a handful of climbs to deliver you to stunning viewpoints, but the trail is chiefly low-level.
