wye valley area of outstanding natural beauty
Colwall
The Wye was voted the nation’s favourite river in 2010, its unspoilt beauty
capturing the imagination of all who visit. One of the most natural rivers in
Britain, it rises in the mountains of mid-Wales and flows south for some 150
miles, becoming part of the border between Wales and England before meeting the
Severn. In its lower stretches, it meanders for 58 miles through the Wye Valley
Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), from just south of Hereford down to
Chepstow.
