November 17, 2024,Newland loop from All saints Church - Wye Valley AONB

Moderate walk.
Start by parking near the church or by the Ostrich Inn in Newland. Lots of history in village. Plenty of sheep,birds and pheasants to be seen on the route with some nice views down the valley.Can be slipy in places when wet. You can walk clockwise or anti clockwise. Dogs on leads when on farmland.
