The ever Chepstow Walking Festival returns in April with 38 walks over 6 days across the Lower Wye Valley, Monmouthshire, the Forest of Dean and further afield. The walks are full of variety, with historic walks, foodies walks, nature walks, childrens walks, night walks, Welsh walks and lots more.
So we've put together a list of six of our favourites to enjoy (one each day). Make sure to book early, as the most popular walks always sell out quickly.

Tuesday 2nd April - Llangwm & Churches of St. David and St. Jerome
This is a beautiful walk near Usk taking in both Gwent Wildlife Trust managed nature reserves and historic churches managed by the Friends of Friendless Churches. St. Jerome's especially is a real hidden gem, with its 15th century screen one of the firest in South Wales. Nature, history and gorgeous views, what's more to want from a walk?
Wednesday 3rd April - Walk for Health at Offa's Dyke, Devil's Pulpit and Poor's Allotment
Arguably the best view in the Wye Valley, the Devil's Pupit is a must visit. Offering sights right down over Tintern Abbey, this walk is completely FREE (but tickets must be booked).
Thursday 4th April - Devauden with Ice Cream!
They had us at 'ice cream tasting'! A 5 mile walk in the beautiful Wye Valley landscape around Devauden which includes a trip to Brooke's Dairy for a talk and (most importantly!) a tasting of their ice cream.
Friday 5th April - Batty about Bats around Caldicot Castle
Join our colleagues in the MonLife Countryside team for a night time walk around Caldicot Castle Country Park and learn all about the local bat population. See them in flight and use electronic bat detectors to hear them!
Saturday 6th April - Horrible Histories of Trellech
(@bobsblips Trellech Church)
A great walk for children aged 6-11 as Nell the Good Witch takes everyone on a short walk around the picturesque Wye Valley village of Trellech, with great stories and fun for all.
Sunday 7th April - Hidden Lower Chepstow
Join local historian Tim Ryan for a gentle stroll through Chepstow, discovering facts about the town not mentioned in the guide books. At the end there'll be a rare opportunity to see the old Severn Princess, which used to ferry people across the Severn before the bridges were built.
