Eve Summer Guided Short Walk; Whitney-on-Wye

This Eve Walk explores the beautiful, peaceful countryside around Whitney-on-Wye, right on the border of England and Wales. Starting from the valley floor beside the River Wye, we’ll follow a circular route of approximately 3–4 miles, walking at a steady, comfortable pace that allows time to enjoy both the landscape and good company. From Whitney we’ll gradually climb on footpaths past Whitney Court country house and its church, before entering lovely woodland, where the soft evening light filters through the trees and birdsong often accompanies us. Continuing through open fields, we pass the small hamlet of Little Merthyr, a quiet and charming corner of the border countryside. Using a few quiet country lanes, we make our way back towards Whitney, finishing with a final walk through another beautiful stretch of woodland before returning to our starting point. The walk lasts around 2 hours, is led by a professional walk leader, and is suitable for most people who enjoy walking at a steady pace with opportunities to stop, chat and take in the scenery. As with all Eve Summer Walks, this is about making the most of the longer daylight hours, enjoying the quality of summer evening light, and sharing the experience in good company, with plenty of conversation and laughter along the way. There’s also the option to bring supper, so we can relax together picnic-style at the end of the walk — a lovely way to finish the evening.
