Did this walk today. Glorious September sunshine, exotic butterflies, blackberries (yum) and stunning river scenery. The only negative: Pay & Display parking machines will only accept coins (not cards or notes) and do not give change. There is nowhere else to park. If you don't have enough coins you are stuffed.

We happened on this walk when we went to Symonds Yat last week. We did the walk, following the posts but wanted to know more, so came to this web site. Disappointed to see I can't download it (unlike National Trust trails) but have to send ■1.75 to the office - no address given! What a shame, the route was great, might've tried the monmouth trip if I'd been able to download it!
