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

St Jerome's at Llangwm Ichaf

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

Devil's Pulpit

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).
