Follow the leaping salmon way markers. An optional route leads to The Lover’s Leap (16). There are some steep drops along sections of this walk. (Numbers in the text also appear on the map.) You can start this walk at Chepstow Castle, Chepstow Leisure Centre (closest map point 2), Lower Wyndcliff car park (10) or Upper Wyndcliff car park (11).
1. Follow the Wye Valley Walk to Chepstow Leisure Centre, where the route leaves the back of the car park and runs beside the school. Then walk through a gap in the wall.
2. The Piercefield Estate: This stone wall encloses the Piercefield estate on three sides, while the river Wye forms the eastern boundary. It was constructed after 1794 by one of the park’s later owners, Mark Wood. There were several entrances to the park, including the Temple Doors (17) and the Lion s Lodge (20), which in the 19th century became the main entrance. Turn right and continue down the path and steps.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Wye Valley being designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, we asked our camera club members to share images of this picturesque part of the world with us. This is just a small selection of the pictures shared by members of the South Wales Argus Camera Club and you can see more by visiting the SWACC page on Facebook. More than 4,200 people are signed up as camera club members. Why not join them? Green: Through the woods at Piercefield Park, Chepstow, on the Wye Valley Walk.
