All Saints Church, Staunton

Highlight • Historical Site

All Saints is a late Norman church, dating from 1144, which has had numerous additions during the medieval period and the early nineteenth century. It has a five-bay nave, a chancel, south transept and north and south aisles, a gabled south porch and a central bell tower with clock and six bells. The tower is 12th century, but was added to in the 15th century.

Buck Stone and View of Wye Valley

Highlight • Summit

Buck Stone at 280 metres is a UK P100, or 'hump,' with 100 metres of prominence. The top is marked by a trig point, and the Buck Stone itself, which is a bit of a monster. It is a wedge-shaped lump that looks like it weighs at least several tons. There is also an odd-looking man-made dragon's tooth of a stone, which has an indent in the top. I am curious to know what this is? The location makes for fine views out over the countryside, and makes for a great picnic spot.

River Wye

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Wye was voted the nation’s favourite river in 2010. It starts not far from my home town in Brecon in mid-Wales and trundles south for some 150 miles before meeting the Severn. I have forgotten how many times I have cycled it, run it and kayaked it. Simply my favourite place on earth!

Coppett Hill is a striking landmark in the Lower Wye Valley known for its stunning views and excellent walking trails. It's located south of Goodrich village and lies to the west of Kerne Bridge and southwest of Symonds Yat. The hill is nestled between two expansive loops of the River Wye making a great setting for hiking.
