Wye Valley Walking

The Sloop Inn is situated centrally in the Wye Valley, within the officially designated area of outstanding natural beauty. Coupled with the adjoining area of The Forest of Dean and the open area of the mountainous moorland of the Brecon Beacons National Park, the area offers perhaps the most stimulating and interesting scenic walking within Britain. Certainly the best that can be found within less than a two-hour drive of London

There are an abundance of walking options to choose from the Inn. Whether it is a stroll along the banks of the river Wye, a walk along the Wye Valley walk or along the Offas Dyke footpath. If your stay is short why not join all three up in one walk perhaps include the famous Tintern Abby (circular walk about ten miles) and arrive back in time to enjoy some well earned delights from our Chefs kitchen. Then why not a glass of Wye Valley Real ale from our bar room

For our resident guests we have drawn up our own free hand out sheet of recommended walks of between about two to ten miles that we have travelled tested and made up for our guests starting and finishing at the Inn itself
