Chepstow to Monmouth
Distance: 16-17 miles (25-27km). High point: 230m (760ft) Upper Wyndcliff.
This section of the walk is almost entirely made up of paths through woodland along the celebrated lower Wye gorge. Expect dense woodland, narrow and sometimes steep paths emerging to viewpoints at Upper Wyndcliff and Whitestone. The walk also visits some attractive villages, most notably Tintern with its famous Abbey. The last few miles of the walk drop to the river, leaving the woods to follow the grassy banks of the Wye into Monmouth town.
