Wye Valley National Landscape

The river Wye flows through the Wye Valley National Landscape (an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) on the border between Wales and England, with the serene Tintern Abbey at its centre. Birthplace of British tourism in the 18th century, even Wordsworth waxed lyrical about it. This border has shaped the land, and the way people experience it, with castles, towers, abbeys, market towns and industrial heritage dotting the landscape. Although the stunning landscape of the lower Wye Valley, with its unique blend of Welsh and English cultures, may feel a million miles away, it's only twenty minutes from nearby towns in Monmouth and Chepstow and offers a wide range of activities, including sightseeing, canoeing, walking, cycling and wild swimming.

Don't miss a visit to Tintern, the jewel in the Wye Valley's crown.
