Kerne Bridge over the River Wye

Highlight • Viewpoint

Quite a local landmark hereabouts, especially if you are on the river. An ancient crossing point that has been about in one way or another since roman times. An important bridge connection on the Wye that at one stage was tolled. Failure to pay the toll made you liable to a £5 fine. Some things have never changed!

Dean Forest Cycles & Café

Highlight • Rest Area

Nice shop and cafe with some parking. They carry a good range of gear in the shop and you can end up coming out with more than expected.

Staff are very friendly and the cafe is great with nice coffee and a good selection of delicious cakes.

Sometimes overlooked is the seating at the back of the cafe. Only small but nice place to enjoy your coffee and cake.

Some excellent trails nearby 👍

Ross-on-Wye Market House

Highlight • Settlement

Nestled by the River Wye, Ross-on-Wye is a charming market town.

Originating from the first travel guidebook by William Gilpin in 1782, it inspired picturesque tourism.

It has independent stores, 19th-century mock-Gothic walls, a Gazebo Tower folly, and colourful homes cascading down the hillside to the river.
