What to expect

King Arthur's Wye Valley Walk is a 13km day with 300m of ascent walk and is over some rough, muddy and broken ground but in the main is on good footpaths and tracks and so is doable by most although some feel pretty tired at the end of the day. This walk was designed by Wales Outdoors and takes in the highlights and using lesser known paths. King Arthurs Cave, Symmonds Yat, Biblin's Wibbly Wobbly Bridge, an Iron Age hill fort said to be the last camp of King Vortigen... all of these will be explored, and of course the magnificent River Wye too. We have been delivering walks at this location for over thirty years and our knowledge of the area, it's industrial heritage and it's natural environments, will be ours to share with you!
