Here in the Wye Valley & Vale of Usk we are always looking for new ways to help you appreciate our beautiful countryside. To this end Adventa, with the help of the people at Monmouthshire Countryside Services, have launched their new ‘Treads and Trots’ trails. Whether you are an off-road cyclist, a keen walker or a horse rider, these trails provide specially tailored routes for you.

The trails take in local bridge paths and hidden routes, allowing you to explore the region as you have never seen it before. To start with, three main trails have been developed: Dingestow Discoveries, a 5.5 mile route starting from Dingestow Village & developed especially for families; Tintern’s Hidden History, an 11 mile route from Chepstow Park Wood; and Whitestone, Whitebrook and the Wye, a 14.5 mile route in the Lower Wye Valley.

These trails just continue the fantastic tradition of walking, cycling & horseriding activities in the Wye Valley & Vale of Usk. Whatever your interest, be it historical, natural or even pub based, we have a walk for you. Check out our full list of Long and Short Distance walking routes in the area, Walking Festivals, and upcoming organised walks on our dedicated walking page!
