Great Days Out for Groups.

Designed to Inform - Educate - Entertain

Commemorating the 250th Anniversary of the visit Reverend William Gilpin to the Wye Valley in 1770. His visit lead to the publication of the first travel guide book in history, 'Observations on the River Wye, and several parts of South Wales, relative cheifly to Picturesque beauty'. Such was the popularity of his work, that the River Wye became one of the birthplaces of British Tourism. Important cultural figures like William Wordsworth and JMW Turner swiftly followed in his tracks. Now a designated 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty', The Wye Valley, with romantic sites, spectacular viewpoints and pictureque landscape, remains substantially as William Gilpin described - 'If you have never navigated the Wye, you have seen nothing".
