The Wye Valley - A Photographic Journey

Ross-on-Wye is known as the 'Gateway to the Wye Valley' and the picturesque Wye Valley route between Ross and Chepstow via Monmouth passes through the villages of Redbrook, Brockweir, Llandogo and Tintern and is a particularly pretty route to travel at any time of year. There are plenty of places of both scenic and historic interest to see and visit along the way, such as the beautiful villages of Symonds Yat, the east and west sides of which are connected by rope pulled ferry. Visitors to the area can explore caves at the Doward or visit Yat Rock and Garway Hill, both of which afford stunning views over several counties.

Up stream from Ross (67 miles by river but less than 40 by road), and great for a day visit, Hay Bluff towers high above the Wye Valley town of Hay-on-Wye and in that same area, the nearby Neolithic burial chamber, Arthur's Stone is well worth a visit.
