Stunning view onto Tintern Abbey naturally framed by the surrounding trees

The Devil's Pulpit is a viewpoint and limestone rock jutting out from the cliffs high above the River Wye along the Offa's Dyke Footpath. It offers spectacular views over Tintern Abbey and the village of Tintern along the River Wye below and the walk is through stunning woodland following the ancient Offa's Dyke. Legend has it the devil preached to the monks below, tempting them to desert their order.

The long, narrow hill of Cam Long Down stands separate from the main Cotswold escarpment, on the Cotswold Way between Dursley and Uley Bury. The distinctive wedge shape of Cam Peak, at the Dursley end of the Down, is a result of erosion and landslips. Enjoyable at any time of year, as with all the Cotswold limestone grasslands this area is particularly special in summer when it is ablaze with wildflowers and alive with bees, butterflies and other pollinators.

Location for a picnic

Great views and all bridleway. You can stay at the top or ride a slightly more technical singletrack a level down at the end. You can drop down to lower levels at each corner or complete a lap.

Steepish track up but then grassy slopes and woods. Pandoramic views from the hill even if you don’t go up the tower.

Steep walk up the hill but well worth the effort for the fabulous views.

The Devil's Pulpit is a rocky limestone outcrop and scenic viewpoint located in the Forest of Dean District of Gloucestershire, England, within the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is known for its views across the River Wye to Tintern Abbey, which stands on the opposite bank in Monmouthshire, Wales. Access lies from the Offa's Dyke Path, and the site is close to the Offa's Dyke earthwork itself. It is possible to climb up onto the flat plateau of the rock, which can accommodate a few people. In the hollow behind the rock, lies an ancient yew tree, with its roots grown into and around a pile of stone. Legend holds that from here the devil would taunt the monks and occupants of Tintern Abbey below. Amazing day out for all the family.
