These zig-zag paths were I believe laid out here in the 19th century for the growing numbers of tourists visiting the Lower Wye Valley. Today the paths here are still very pleasant all year round - in autumn crisp golden leaves coat the paths, in spring new growth and birdsong prevail, in summer leafy veils and welcome shade and in winter clear views and empty woods can be enjoyed. The height is gained very steadily so all members of the family can gain the valley top without it becoming a climb.
