Please check local regulations for: Wye Valley National Landscape
Eagles Nest is situated at the top of a steep, wooded limestone cliff and as the highest point on the Monmouthshire bank of the Wye, at 770 foot (235 m). It offers the most stunning viewpoint for miles.
Looking east it's ideal for catching the sunrise and has views across the Wye Valley, Rivers Wye and Severn, Chepstow, the Severn Bridges and the Cotswolds.

There are 2 trails here, with the starting point served by a nearby car park. It is also en route of the Wye Valley TrailOne trail is classified as intermediary and a bit longer then the other "challenging" one. Both lead to the op of the cliff, the latter mostly by laid stones marking steps.A tough climb but the view is simply outstanding. There is also a bench and panoramic plaque highlighting what can be seen from the viewing platform.Loved it!
