Monsal Dale Weir

Another delightful sight just down from the viaduct. While it may like a waterfall, it's actually a weir. A great spot to have lunch and get a few photos. I hear there's good fishing around the area on the Wye.

The weir itself is now fenced-off to prevent public access. You can still admire the weir from the footpath, however, and gain access to the river a short step downstream.

The waterfall is easily accessible from the front as well as to its rear. Most routes will lead you to a footpath that comes from the front. In my opinion, however, the best routes come from coming downhill through to the back of the waterfall. So why not leave this Highlight until the end of your hike and take a different path than the rest?

Fantastic place for a pit stop. It’s actually a weir but who cares, it looks great.

For those looking for superb swimming and picnic spots.

I just did this walk today....please please be carefull. Further on in the walk I got stuck halfway up a hill side in wood. Just before I lost the path and had to carefull make a descent to the road, there was a sign post, go upto Sheldon or down at this point

I recommend it with children. Definitely they will fall in love with hiking,
