Tintern to Redbrook

Today's path was similar to yesterday with long ascents and long descents high above and west of River Wye in Gloucestershire. Offa's Dyke Path continued to be so well waymarked with signposts there was no need for a guide book. More cloud than yesterday but less wind so a warmer day. At Redbrook paused at village shop for sandwiches. We were quite tired by now after 9 miles of up and down so rather than walk the last ascent and descent of The Kymin, where there is a monument to Admiral Lord Nelson, we walked along track of old railway into Monmouth suburb 'Wyesham'. Then crossed the Wye into town centre to the Queens Head, our B&B for the night. This was the last time we would see the River Wye. Ate in excellent indian Restaurant The Misbah on Priory Street. At the end of the day we had walked 12.6 miles.Read more
