Wyndcliffe to Tintern on the Wye Valley Walk

Having today done the section of the Wye Valley path from Chepstow to Wyndcliffe by lunchtime we then climbed up the "365 Steps" path up the cliff past Wyndcliffe itself (quarried limestone cliffs) to get to the top of the ridge.

On the top we then walked the Wye Valley Walk path to Tintern Abbey stopping for a picnic on route in a field with good views to Penterry radio masts and hill fort.

Wyndcliffe has a lot of rock climbing routes. See the link below if interested. Having climbed most of the  routes to E3 I would happily recommend Wyndcliffe main crag for traditional climbing, with the lower quarry providing good bolted sports climbs. See: http://www.climbers-club.co.uk/downloads/lwv_wyndcliff.pdf
