Piercefield Park
Park
👍 A lovely park with great paths going through the woodlands. The derelict buildings do give a striking view to the park with the sheep dotted around.
A great place to go and enjoy the great outdoors and keep socially distant. Can even watch the races if it tickles your fancy.

Eagle's Nest
Tourist attraction
👍👍 If you have a dog it’s better to use the Upper car park. It’s a fairly easy walk to the Eagles Nest view point. The views are probably the best in the area.
The 365-steps aren’t suitable for dogs but the alternative route around the fields is an easy ramble. Prepare to lift dogs over scissor stiles...

Cleddon Shoots
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Beautiful walk. 😍 We drove to the top of the falls, followed Google maps. This road is VERY narrow and full of pot holes.
This is a very steep hike down from the top of the falls. The steps do have hand rails but the steps are full of leaves and can be slippery. The woods are mossy and the views...

Bigsweir Bridge
Bridge
😐 Hiked for miles to get to it and there's not even a pub nearby.
What self respecting bridge doesn't lead to a pub?!
Is quite pretty though and you can cross it which makes it functional as a bridge which is handy...given that's what it is.

Wye Valley Greenway Tidenham Tunnel South.
Tourist attraction
👍👍 This is such a great experience. This tunnel forms part of a trail that will take you from Chepstow to Tintern. The tunnel is about 1.5 km long. The total distance from Chepstow to Tintern is 7 km. The lighting is low so stick to the left hand side in your walking direction. Visit Tintern for lunch...

Giants Cave
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Great view, and a brilliant location. The walk from the Lower Wyndcliff car park, is narrow in places, can be muddy and does have some shear drops along the way. There are some built in steps, as long as you're concentrating, it's perfectly useable.
There is another path leading from the main road...

Old Wireworks Tramway Bridge
Tourist attraction
😐 Now closed for repairs until spring 2023. You can look at it from the bank, but can't take the hiking trails that cross it. Need to take the bridge Brockweir instead.
