A collection of walks in Wales, the West and The Marches


View River Walks in a larger map

These guides will give you a general idea of some brilliant walks. They don't give enough detailed directions to follow without the use of Ordnance Survey maps. You will need to be equipped with decent boots and all-weather gear.

Walk 1 Monnow - Tregate Bridge to Skenfirth Castle
Quiet farmland and woods with a pub and a castle halfway
Walk 2 Teme - Stanford Bridge to Ham Bridge

Half lanes, half fields in the beautiful Teme valley
Walk 3 Wye - Pont Rhydgaled to source

A tough slog up rough country but the only way to follow the Wye to its source

Under the Seven Sisters and over a rickety bridge
