A very special place in a remote location.

Garway Hill 366.6m P266 (1203ft) (DoBIH Hill ID: 2857) [JNSA 10985] TP3331 - Garway Hill S6429 FB height 366.832m #960

At the starting point there is a little footbridge across the River Monnow, which is an imposing river when flowing fast as it was when I visited.

A very fine church is beautiful surroundings. More info here - https://stmaryskentchurch.org/

The descent route on the north side of Garway hill is excellent, being a bosky path with loss covered trees and good walking underfoot.

As you climb Garway Hill, the views south open up, and you can see the distant Skirrid Fawr and Sugarloaf Mountain prominantly.

Graig Syfyrddin is a fine hill on the welsh side of the Monnow valley, and it is slightly higher than Garway hill.

The climb up Garway Hill from the south is a fine route through woodland with some excellent old trees and good pastures.

Garway hill is one of the real highlights of the Herefordshire Trail, a proper hill with very fine views in all directions, and ponies!

I appreciate that during dry weather this won't be a problem, but after recent rain it was still a surprise to find a woodland path that was actually a stream, and a stile was set across that stream!

The Romanesque church of St Mary and St David is slightly off route but well worthy of a detour. It is very old and has amazing carvings. Details can be found here - https://kilpeckchurch.org.uk/

There isn't much left of Kilpeck Castel, but there is enough to give you a sense of its situation and what it must have been like. It does offer fine views to the north, south and west, and would have dominated the village. Incidentally the photos of the carvings come from the nearby church, not the castle.

360 degree views over 5 counties - worth the ride to the top

Interesting place, one of my favourite cycling route.

very nice church, interesting place

Note for dog walkers - there are sheep and horses present, so dogs need to be kept on lead.

Below the gentle slopes of the surrounding hills, Kentchurch is a lovely village by the River Monnow in Herefordshire. According to some, it was the home of the legendary Jack o' Kent, a popular bogeyman figure in Herefordshire and Monmouthshire folklore. The Bridge Inn does excellent food. The historic Kentchurch Court is a Grade I-listed building that dates back to the 14th century. It has seen many revamps, not least in the late 18th century when it was given a gothic remodelling by John Nash.

Nestled in classic border country, Kilpeck is a pleasant Herefordshire village. Part of the Welsh Kingdom of Ergyng until the 9th century, it became part of Archenfield after the Norman conquest. In the 16th century it became part of England, though Welsh was still commonly spoken here until the 19th century. It is notable for two landmarks in particular: the remains of a motte-and-bailey caste and its small but remarkable Romanesque church of St Mary and St David's.

Garway Hill is a 1,200-foot (366 m) summit in Herefordshire, England. It has a trig-pointed summit and is a UK listed Marilyn. The views from the top are fantastic, with Wales' Black Mountains in the west and the Wye Valley in the east.
