About

Manor Wood

Manor Wood is on the edge of a quiet village on the eastern side of the Wye Valley.

It was once a busy working woodland and was home to paper mills, a corn mill and a cider mill.

There are remnants of charcoal and sawing pits and other signs of industry hidden away in the woods.

Next to the parking area, there is a picnic site, children's play area and large grassy area.

Trails in Manor Wood include Manor Brook Leap & Manor Wood Walk, the two walking trails are short but challenging as you need to cross the stream in several places. 

This site is managed by Natural Resources Wales, for full details about the trails and the visitor facilities (including any temporary changes or closures) please go to the Natural Resources Wales website.
