Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
The Wye Valley AONB is an internationally important protected landscape containing some of the most beautiful lowland scenery in Britain
Within the AONB a 44 mile/72km stretch of the River Wye winds down through the valley through spectacular limestone gorge scenery and dense ravine woodlands. Superb wildlife, intriguing archaeological and industrial remains and impressive geological features all make it into one of the most fascinating Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Designated in 1971, this unique landscape straddles the border between England and Wales. It includes areas within Gloucestershire, Forest of Dean, Herefordshire and Monmouthshire.
A Management Plan for the AONB enlists a range of partners in conserving and enhancing its beauty for the benefit of present and future generations. Download pdf here
