Ross-On-Wye Walking Festival - How Much??

The Ross-On-Walking Festival in the county of Herefordshire, is being held over the weekend of the Friday 27/09 to the Sunday 29/09. There are 14 walks to choose from, varying in length from less than a mile to a 13 miler.


We have chosen a two night itinerary that will be staying in the Hostelrie At Goodrich for two nights.

The Itinerary

Day 1 Friday 27/09

Joyce’s Walk

This is a circular walk on the edge of the Forest of Dean. It passes through woods and fields to Hope Mansell with its interesting old church. After going through the village there is a steady climb followed by a section of lane walking. The views on this walk are superb and the peace and tranquility of the Herefordshire countryside should not be missed. The walk is named after a member of Ross-on-Wye Ramblers who devised it.
Distance: 4 miles, Moderate
Time: 1.30pm to 3.30pm.
Leader: Sam Phillips, Ross Group RA
