Mailscot Wood Trails

 

The trail meanders southwards keeping to the ridge high above the tumbling River Wye. The woodlands covering the valley sides are a wonderful mosaic of broadleaf and conifer trees, providing a variety of wildlife habitats. There are panoramic views across the river gorge towards the towering limestone outcrops at the Seven Sisters, with Bilbins Suspension Bridge and Youth Campsite below.

How to get there:

Mailscot Wood Trails can be started from Symonds Yat Rock in Wye Valley Woods which is part of Wye Valley. Coleford is the nearest town or village.

From the A40 at Monmouth take the A4136 towards Gloucester. At the Pike House crossroads turn left and proceed into Christchurch, take the B4432 left hand fork opposite the church and follow the signposts to Symonds Yat Rock.
