| The
Wye Valley & Forest of Dean - England Coach Tours - 5 Days Tour Highlights • Ludlow • Hay-on-Wye • Scenic Wye Valley • Forest of Dean • Symonds Yat • Tintern • Offa’s Dyke Welsh Borderlands |
The ancient cathedral
city of Hereford is really no more than a market town, set
in a peaceful rural landscape of farms, orchards and half-timbered
villages. It grew up on the River Wye on the border of Wales,
a garrison protecting the Saxons from the Welsh tribes.With
the Malvern Hills to the east, and the wilder mountains of
mid-Wales to the west, it makes a fascinating base for touring
through some delightful countryside. |
| The Wye Valley & Forest of Dean - Your Excursions |
FULL
DAY A full day tour starting with a visit to the beautiful old town of Ludlow with its riot of black and white half-timbered buildings - nearly 500 are listed - and a huge 11th century castle, much of which still stands. Then it’s across the line of Offa’s Dyke, constructed in the 8th century to mark the border with Wales, for a stop in the eccentric little town of Hay-on-Wye, which is the second-hand book ‘capital’ of Britain, and has its own ‘King’! |
FULL DAY On our second full day tour we follow the River Wye southwards past Ross-on-Wye into the Forest of Dean, to admire the view at Symonds Yat with a great loop of the river far below. From the handsome border town of Monmouth we reach the most scenic stretch of the Wye Valley, halting at Tintern, where the 4th century ruined Abbey has a beautiful setting. |
