Wye Valley Walk – Ross-on-Wye to Kerne Bridge

This section is a pleasant mix of woodland and farmland walking in low hills overlooking the Wye. Despite being urban walking to start with there is much of historical interest as the route climbs up from the river taking in St Mary’s Church and The Prospect Gardens with its viewpoint looking out over a swooping loop of the Wye.

Leaving town there is a steady climb to the hillfort on the top of Chase Hill, passing Merrivale Wood Nature Reserve on the way. The route continues through a mix of woodland and fields with glimpses of the imposing Goodrich Castle nearing the descent down to Kerne Bridge.
