Welsh Coastal Path

Reviewed By MrBuddyBoy

An easy path to find and stay on - you can just head up to the end of Mumbles and follow the signs. Note there is construction on the paved portion of the path so if you start in Mumbles you actually have to walk up a steep hill and then you are on more the hill path which in my opinion was probably a better option to begin with, at some point you can cross back to the paved portion if you want,but we couldn't be bothered....paved patch should be fully operational mid December (or so the sign said).

Wye Valley Walk

Reviewed By ROSSHX - Melton Constable, United Kingdom

My wife and i walked the full lengh of the Wye Valley Walk over 13 days, we walked from Chepstow (mouth) to Plynlimon (source) loosely along the full length of the river Wye, 170 miles, passing regularly in and out of England and Wales, taking 13 days, about 13 miles a day, with usually 1000-2000ft of climb, it was fascinating, really diverse, and luckily the weather was mostly good. We saw vineyards, apple orchards, asparagus, potato harvest, all sorts of livestock, ancient buildings – churches, cathedrals, forts, priories, ancient woodland, farmland, moorland, river meadows, fishermen, canoeists, and a wonderful assortment of wildlife. We stayed at some wonderful B&B’s, we met some wonderful people, our luggage was taxied forward each day, we had a few blisters, admit it stretched us, but it was hugely hugely enjoyable.
