River Wye at Lower Lydbrook

Highlight • Natural

Lydbrook is a small village with a rich industrial history, which lies both within the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley AONB. The village stretches along a steep sided valley, cut through by the river Wye. The car park is well placed for exploring the area by bike, as well as offering direct access to launch canoes and kayaks.

Stowfield Viaduct (Black Bridge)

Highlight • Historical Site

Around 2016 Stowfield Viaduct (known also as Black Bridge) closed as it had become unsafe. This was sad news indeed as the old railway bridge formed part of the Wye Valley Walk. It has now been reopened for walkers only by utilising the scaffolding that was used to render it safe to boaters that passed underneath.

Kerne Bridge over the River Wye

Highlight • Viewpoint

Quite a local landmark hereabouts, especially if you are on the river. An ancient crossing point that has been about in one way or another since roman times. An important bridge connection on the Wye that at one stage was tolled. Failure to pay the toll made you liable to a £5 fine. Some things have never changed!

The Old Tramway Trail, Wye Valley National Landscape

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

This section of train was once an old tramway and it’s SUPER COOL to run or walk along. The trams used to be pulled by horses and transport coal down the valley.

The crumbling walls are still there in places as it winds above the river Wye. Getting to the tramway is easy from lower Lydbrook but if your coming in from the opposite direction at Catshill be prepared for a first mile of battling through overgrown trail and stingy nettles. It’s worth it!
