For off-road wheelchair users looking to enjoy the beauty of the Wye Valley, Whitestone is one of the area's favourite places to explore.

High above the Wye Valley near Trellech, Whitestone offers wide forest tracks, peaceful woodland, spectacular viewpoints and routes leading to beauty spots including Cleddon Falls, Beacon Hill and the historic Duchess's Ride.

This Saturday (24 October), the Wye Valley National Landscape team is hosting an Off-Road Wheelchair Ramble, welcoming people from across the UK to discover this special corner of the Wye Valley on an 8-mile adventure through the forest.

This is Britain’s only surviving medieval bridge with a fortified gate on its span.

It has been in the heart of Monmouth’s story since the Middle Ages.

This walk is one of the reasons we decided to split the Chepstow Walking Festival between Spring and Autumn.

The colours of the Wye Valley in autumn are truly unsurpassed, and this walk showcases exactly why the Wye Valley became the birthplace of tourism.

The route has everything you could want from a walk, ancient woodland, stunning views across the Wye Valley and Black Mountains, a castle once visited by King John, a delightful church and ancient pathways steeped in history.
