View of River Wye from Ninewells Wood

The River Wye is the fourth-longest river in the UK, stretching some 250 kilometres from its source on Plynlimon in mid Wales to the Severn estuary. For much of its length the river forms part of the border between England and Wales. The Wye Valley is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

There is free parking in Tintern . The walk, starting by crossing the Wye over the old railway bridge is a gentle stroll through some of the most beautiful countryside walking to Brockweir ( Broken-weir or named from where the Badgers came down, who knows) Then walking back over the Wye and down to old Tintern Station where there is tea n cake and the loo before heading back along the riverbank ( can be muddy as the river is tidal) back to Tintern.
