There's a real sense of achievement when looking out from the far-reaching viewpoints, which are often found en route to receiving a warm welcome at various friendly towns and villages.

“We really did enjoy the holiday from start to finish. We liked the fact the route was tailored for a stay/dinner at one of our favourite restaurants. We also appreciated the old guide book being printed for us and the extra guide notes at the start of the walk from the source of the Wye river. The walk to Builth Wells and also Symonds Yat were beautiful but sections had their charm. The remoteness of the start was dramatic. We loved the whole walk.”Mr Powell, UK
“Great organisation, great accommodation, amazing scenery and weather - great for dogs!”Miss Featherstone, UK
“A really lovely walk, all made very easy. All went very well, no problems. Fantastic countryside, easy path and no one else to be seen the whole way. I keep looking at the website and planning the next.”Mr Wilsdon, UK
“Excellent walk with spectacular autumn colours.”Mr Parish, UK
“Everything ran very smoothly - even the weather cooperated! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience! This was our second walk with Contours and both times I have been impressed with the attention to detail and the professionalism of the company. If we return to do another walk I would not bother considering anyone else.”Mrs Betts, Australia
“I’ve been meaning to do this one for ages, and am so glad I finally got round to it. The Wye is a beautiful tranquil river and, except at a few tourist-y hotspots, pleasantly bereft of other people. The scenery is stunning pretty much throughout, with lots of wildlife.”Mr Julyan, UK
“It was lovely to explore an area we’re not familiar with. Overall, it was a great holiday in a part of the country we have not explored before. Once again, many thanks. All of staff we have spoken too have been friendly and very helpful. Though the terrain did change, all parts of the walk were enjoyable and had their merits.”Mr Yates, UK
