Introduction taken from the Wye Valley Walk offical Route Guide.
- "The Wye Valley walk is 136 miles (218 kilometres) long, and follows the river valley from Chepstow in Monmouthshire to the slopes of the Plynlimon in Powys, criss-crossing the border between England and Wales.

-
- The route starts off in the dramatic limestone gorge of the southern Wye Valley and then, after passing through Ross-on-Wye, traverses the more gentle countryside of Herefordshire, before entering the rugged uplands of Powys, in mid-Wales.

- The walk is never very far from roads and houses although settlements become smaller and more dispersed beyond Hay-on-Wye. It passes several historic towns - Chepstow, Monmouth, Ross-on-Wye, Hereford, Hay-on-Wye, Builth Wells and Rhayader, as well as many small villages and pretty hamlets.

- There are a few hilly stretches, but it is suitable for any reasonably fit walker who wishes to enjoy the varied landscape and natural history of this delightful area."
