From Monmouth to Chepstow via the majestic Tintern Abbey, the Wye Valley forms the border between Wales and England. This border has shaped the land, with castles, towers, abbeys, market towns and industrial heritage dotting the landscape. Great food and plenty of activities, from canoeing to valley walks.

Hiking

A beautiful little waterfall. The small path leads through a beautiful forest toward Tintern. It's about 5km round trip. It's worth a visit, and be sure to make a detour to the ruins of St. Mary's Church!
