Redbrook Railway Bridge and Footbridge

Highlight • Historical Site

This is quite a dilapidated metal railway bridge dating from 1876 but it is in a really exceptional beautiful location. The bridge was closed to railway traffic in 1964 but has been kept open because of the footbridge. It is also a grade 2 listed building.

The Round House Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

A gravel summit, but worth it for the views

The Kymin Roundhouse and view over Monmouth

Highlight • Monument

The Kymin is an 18th-century round house and naval temple on a prominent hill, set within 9 acres (4 ha) of grounds. It's a fair slog from Monmouth but you are rewarded with wonderful views over the Wye Valley and the town below as you climb. Once you reach the top, the views are breathtaking and there are benches to stop and soak it all in. Absolute bliss. The site is owned by the National Trust.

View from Kymin

Highlight • Natural Monument

Kymin rises above Monmouth on the edge of the Forest of Dean. It's a steep hill when approached from the town but its views are extravagant. Hike around the trails at the top to enjoy panoramas in every direction.

Wysis Way

Highlight • Forest

The Wysis Way!
A Stunning Walk Through the lovely and very distinctive areas of the Forest of Dean. The Wysis Way runs for 55 miles, The way links the Offa's Dyke Path and Thames Path connecting both national trails. Starting from the Wye Bridge in Monmouth the Wysis Way heads eastwards up to The Kymin and on into the Forest of Dean. Which really does fully validate, that the old saying is actually true,.. 'blessed is the eye between the Severn and the Wye'.
