Just returned from a great day out Fishing at Raven's Nest. Not having fished before, and having four children in tow(8-14), I was sceptical about how successful this was going to be, but we left with us all having caught our first trout, and the kids begging to catch just one more! Russel and Nick were enthusiastic and very patient when showing us what to do; with much more seasoned fishers able to enjoy fly and rod fishing further upstream. The set up is professional but relaxed, in the most beautiful of settings. You can hire your own fire pit to cook your catch if you would like, but we were spoiled as ours were prepped and served for us; delicious! Thanks for a great day out; look forward to trying out the camping next time!

We walked from Chepstow to St. James's Church at Lancaut along Offa's Dyke. Beautiful Spring day & the path passed through fields of dandelions & buttercups, under beech, oak, hazel & some resurgent elm. Above an old quarry, the flanks covered in Hart's Tongue fern. Climber's practising their art on the cliff wall's. Passed some characterful houses, among them Pen Moel, a sprawling Victorian giant of a place & Spital Meend, a classy mansion built of stone, half hidden among trees.

Visited Dewstow on 12 5 19 and spent the afternoon there. The gardens and grottoes were really fabulous. I was with two friends and we explored the first garden with water and stepping stones and then the succession of grottoes with cool ponds, lovely fish, little waterfalls and a lush collection of ferns and plants. Not so keen on the fairy decorations - we are more garden people. There was a lovely sheltered garden around another delightful pool, and suddenly we exited a tunnel and found ourselves looking at a lawn, terrace and the Severn Estuary. The lower garden is also lovely, with pretty ponds, neat lawns, statuesque trees, a dove cote in stone and a tranquil summerhouse. Our one disappointment was that at 4.30 pm, we were too late for a cup of tea at the end of our visit - a pity it's early closing!

This is quite an arduous walk down from the road so take your time. There are ancient forests and riverbank tracks. We saw deer in the fields. The 1000 year old chapel is peaceful and interesting with 17th centre gravestones. It is a great place for your picnic.

What can I say apart from this is a beautiful small walk, we parked up in the car park overlooking beautiful scenery and walked through the bracken paths down towards the wood at the 3 oak trees we turned left and walked up through the old oak woodland. This was amazing to see just one species of trees in a wood, we skirted by the river and ascended up the mountain eventually reaching the summit and the trig point, we took in the breathtaking scenery before descending down the mountain through the bracken paths and back to the car park, taking just over 2 1/2 hours for non walkers. It was about 4 miles in total and well worth the Walk.

This was only a short walk but tough enough to make you feel like you've achieved something when you hit the summit! Amazing views all around.
