The Giant's Cave is a small pass through cave with a great view of the River Wye and Landscape

There are a couple of caves in this area. The first (coming from Chepstow) is very shallow and raided above the path. The second "Giant Cave" has outstanding safe viewing platform outside it, and the cave actually opens into a secondary exit allowing passage through the rock. This is a natural formation it would appear. Highly recommended!

After the initial ascent, this footpath meanders close to the cliff edge. Warning for hikers or runners with vertigo. The views alternate brweeyn stunning woodland and glimpses of the Wye Valley below

Can be seen from the opposite bank (Chepstow side) Gloucester Hole, smuggling, storage of tea, explosives or other smuggled goods?? Marked with a Union Jack and only accessible at high tide!

This striking feature is a curving tunnel that is cut into the rock-face through which Piercefield Walk passes via a large opening in the southern side, and a smaller rectangular portal in the northern. It is part natural feature, and part hand-made.

Otter Hole / Otter Cave is known as one of the best "decorated" caves in the UK. Access is restricted to protect the rare formations inside. The cave also floods, with a tidal sump. It is managed by the Royal Forest of Dean Caving Club.

It would have to be a very small giant to fit through there! Amazing feature... look out for the bats!

In 1975 the Wye Valley Walk opened with a 14 miles (23 km) stretch between St. Arvans and Monmouth. Further stretches were added, leading to it becoming a 34-mile (55 km) footpath by 1981. During the 1980s, gaps between Ross-on-Wye, Hay-on-Wye and Rhayader were integrated into the pathway, forming a 112 miles (180 km) walk reaching from near the river's mouth at Chepstow in Monmouthshire, to Rhayader in Mid Wales In September 2002, the route was finally extended to start or finish in Coed Hafren, having passed within viewing distance of the source of the River Wye on Plynlimon near Aberystwyth, a total of 136 miles (219 km).
