Glasbury is located just north of the Black Mountains. After a strenuous climb up to the Gospel Pass, the small village is already waiting with the river Wye to refresh you. Glasbury is a popular place for fishing, canoeing or kayaking, but of course you can also just jump into the water to cool off. Glasbury has some accommodations from B&B to luxurious hotels, so you'll find a great stopover.

Hiking

Glasbury is a stunning location on the River Wye just short of Hay On Wye. A great starting place for a canoe trip down the Wye. The cafe and facilities at Wye Valley Canoes are first class.
