Monsal Dale is a picturesque wooded gorge where natural beauty and industrial heritage combine magnificently. The River Wye meanders steadily along the dale and wildflower displays abound in spring and summer. Perhaps the most famous thing about the dale is Headstone Viaduct; an enormous former railway bridge that crosses the dale. Many people come here to enjoy nature and paddle in the river. It truly is a special spot. However, at popular times it can get busy.
