ソラーズホープでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Another example of a delightful little valley that descends from the nearby hills down to the river. Mainly grassland with woodland, it is quiet and peaceful.

The route gives a view across fields to Foy suspension bridge, which is a foot bridge across the Wye. It was built following repeated disputes with the ferrymen, and there are other similar bridges nearby in this area.

The little valley just north of Eaton Hill farm is a delightful example of rolling Herefordshire countryside, with sheep grazing undulating grassland that is interspersed with fine trees.

Eaton Hill is a bit of a prairie as it is currently growing winter wheat and there are no hedges, but it does make for easy walking and the path is clear. It also gives extensive views especially to the west and south.

Hole-in-the-Wall is a settlement on the banks of the River Wye close to Foy and Ross-on-Wye. It's a wonderfully peaceful place to sit and watch the river.

Foy and Hole-in-the-Wall are two villages near Ross-on-Wye that are actually split by the River Wye. Foy is on one side and Hole-in-the-Wall is on the other. In times gone by crossing from one part to the other was only possible by ferry or ford but in 1876 a suspension bridge was built and a very pretty one it is too.

Kate Humble the Tv presenter once said 'The Wye Valley Walk passes through this beautiful part of the world which I am lucky enough to call home. Don’t rush the walk.' No truer words have been said. The Wye Valley, by foot or canoe, is as good as it gets anywhere.
