Very pretty woodland along the Wye, between Tintern and Monmouth. Ways partly narrow and steep. We often pushed our bikes and only realized at the exit that cycling was not allowed. A continuous cycle path along the Wye would be a real recommendation! The federal road as an alternative is acceptable when traffic is light.
