Overview

The hotel lies just outside the historic town of Ross on Wye. Our aim is to explore the unrivalled beauty of the ‘The Gateway to Wales’ through Ross-on-Wye, the beautiful Wye Valley and the Forest of Dean area. On one day we may visit Symonds Yat to experience one of the most beautiful views of the river Wye. This area has a beautiful tapestry of habitats, with ancient woodlands, open hillside and a river that winds its way through a narrow gorge and swings round in a great loop truly showing off its scenic splendour. By contrast the we can also explore the Heart of the great forest of Dean with its view points such as New Fancy and secluded lakes and ponds. Or there are also wonderful open routes around Goodrich Castle which offers wide open panoramas across to the distant Welsh mountains. The final decisions will be made closer to the time, when we’ve seen the weather!

On New Years Eve we will explore one of the closest walks to the hotel so that we can finish a little earlier and prepare ourselves for the evening ahead. Then for those who survive through to New Years Day! Or for those who need to clear their heads, we will begin, somewhat later than usual, with a sedate stroll (or a hangover hobble to clear the head)

To best suit your requirements, we will provide a professional guide for each day. There are two walks each day led by professional & knowledgeable walking guides. The harder walk of around 10 -12 miles with up to 1800 ft ascent (please be realistic about your level of fitness and join the right walk for you, after all it should be about pleasure at the end of day) & the easier walk of 8-10 miles and around 750ft of ascent. Own cars may be taken to the start of the walks.

All walks are weather dependent and may be changed due to local conditions and events.
