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.

Highlight • Bridge

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.
