Finally..... after much consideration and deliberation over the years we got started on THE WYE VALLEY WALK!!!
Saturday 25th April thankfully turned out dry for our first part of the walk. We began (not at the beginning as most would have expected) but from Redbrook to Tintern as there were two diversions between Chepstow and Tintern due to a landslide and maintenance of the path.
On reflection, I think we chose well as we could not have asked for better scenery. The bluebells were out in all their glory carpeting the woods in a bluey haze with the wild garlic trying their best to out do them! Also primroses, violets and wood anemones.
The walk initially took us alongside the river and then up on to the old railway track before quite a steep climb up into woods giving us some great views back down to the river. We stopped for lunch in Bargain Wood and then continued down to finish at the Old Station at Tintern for a well earned celebratory picnic.
