Home : Archives : MT04 Club Trips : Wye Valley
The River Wye, as it meanders through rolling hills and past historic market towns, forms an area of outstanding beauty and historical importance. Forming a natural border between England and Wales, the Wye Valley is only a few hours' drive from Oxford. On this short weekend trip, we will spend two days walking along the southern section of the River Wye, taking in the natural beauty of its forested gorge and the haunting ruins of Tintern Abbey, and passing through the market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth, perhaps also visiting the famous bookselling Mecca of Hay-on-Wye. We will be spending one night in a converted Victorian rectory on the banks of the Wye near Ross-on-Wye.
