The River Wye is at its loveliest in its valley between Monmouth and the sea at Chepstow. In this stretch, an official 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty', the river snakes through a narrow vale clothed in thick woods.
Anglers come for the excellent salmon and sea-trout fishing.
The majestic ruins of Tintern Abbey, praised by poet William Wordsworth, attract many visitors. Close by is Wynd Cliff, a viewpoint which towers over a huge loop in the river. All rights reserved. All material on this site is copyright of the Wales Tourist Board.
