Walking and Rambling in YHA St Briavels Castle

Walking and Rambling around St Briavels Castle

Overview

The hostel is right in the middle Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley so there's lots of fantastic walks from the doorstep. Offa's Dyke path, an ancient border between England and Wales, runs right past the hostel. The Wye Valley and Forest of Dean is equally as hidden and unexpected a treasure as St Briavels Castle.
