This is a particularly fine stretch of the river Wye, as recognized by the Wye Valley National Landscape. The stretched out village of Hoarwithy occupies the west bank, with its unusual Italianate St Catherine's church. The river is crossed by the old toll bridge with it's little Tollhouse - they stopped collecting tolls in the 1930's when the bridge was bought for public ownership.

Nice tree-lined road through common land

Haugh Wood car park, quiet spot for a break after a climb!

This section of the a40 has no shoulder or pavement so I don't recommend riding a bike here anytime other than late into a summer evening.

Garden centre with cafe/restaurant.

Holy Rood Church is a pretty parish church that is synonymous with the Mordiford Dragon; the legend of which has changed with the paintings of it in the church. Holy Rood has a 12th century core with a 13th century but was largely rebuilt in 1811 after flooding. It is Grade II-listed.

I could obciously dismantle, use bridge to cross but better option is to ride on full speed thru the water 😉

A medieval market and fair town which has been settled since Roman times Newent is a pretty little town with some interesting old buildings including the grade 1 listed 13th century Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary. There are also several black and white half timbered Tudor buildings including the Market House in the main street.
