River Wye canoe trip, wild camping, 4 day paddle from Glasbury to Hereford
Canoe trip on the River Wye from Glasbury in Wales to Hereford in England. 4 day paddle covering approx 30 miles on one of the finest stretches of the middle Wye, passing through Hay-on-Wye, Whitney, Bredwardine, Monnington Falls and ending at Hereford. Eschewing the established campsites, we instead chose to have a few nights on gravel beaches and grassy patches right next to the river. Provided you treat the countryside with respect and leave no trace of your stay, it’s entirely feasible to camp next to the river in peaceful secluded spots, which was an inherent part of the whole trip for us. After all, it’s your world too !

Otters on Racquety Farm @ Hay-on-Wye
Here are a couple of Otters that we managed to get on camera during January 2017. They are passing through on a fishing trip. The shot during the daytime is on a very large female that we believe to be pregnant.
Whitney-on-Wye Toll Bridge History and Hay-on-Wye
Whitney-on-Wye Toll Bridge known as Whitney Bridge is an important historical feature in Herefordshire UK - here you can learn some of its quirky 240 year old history. It is the gateway to Hay on Wye and is a beautiful grade 2 listed structure. Why not stop and view the structure before crossing - you won't regret it

My name is Angela Jones and I am a sports coach-teacher specialising in swimming, kayaking, wild camping and running and the underlying strengthening and technique required to learn, improve and excel in these activities. I work with technique, distance, guided swims and first timers who just want to experience the thrill. Part of this is making use of our wonderful countryside and the spectacular Wye Valley. Stunning forest, beautiful rock formations, miles of trail, plenty of wildlife and of course the wondrous River Wye which offers the cleanest water and over 136 miles of endless beauty.
The Wye Valley is the most amazing venue for exciting adventures in fitness and training. I have been a swimming teacher for 30 years, hold full qualifications in water safety and first aid.

HAY-ON-WYE, Wales

Canoeing the River Wye | Hoarwithy to Symonds Yat
In early July 2019 I spent a Friday and Saturday canoeing down the Wye with my 7 year old daughter, from Hoarwithy to Symonds Yat. It is the first time either of us has done this kind of trip and to share this adventure together was the sort of experience that makes me go all mushy and emotional.
We canoed along the River Wye, from Hoarwithy to Symonds Yat, camping the night in Ross-on-Wye.
The trip was 18km on Day one and 22km on day two. It is an easy beginner trip for anyone wanting to try out a multi-day canoe trip for the first time, as we did. I went with my 7 year old.

Canoe hire trip on the river Wye, running the Symonds Yat rapids
Half day Canoe hire trip from Kerne Bridge to Symonds Yat
Canoeing the Wye from Kerne Bridge to Symonds Yat takes half a day. We operate two trips a day, in the morning (09:00 - 12.30) and afternoon (12.30 - 16.30). You could linger with a three quarter day trip if you wished, starting at 11.00 am and finishing at 4.30pm. Ideal for an extended lunch (mind not to drink too much though).
CANOEING FROM KERNE BRIDGE TO SYMONDS YAT
Setting off from Kerne Bridge you will pass through Lower Lydbrook, and navigate around a small island. This is only 25 minutes downstream but you may wish to take a break here as there are refreshments that can be purchased here.
Continuing your canoeing along the Wye you will pass Welsh Bicknor on your right and English Bicknor on your left. At Welsh Bicknor there is a former rectory with a church in the grounds, and a large grassy area ideal for picnics.
Shortly after is the area where the 18th century Rev. Gilpin first introduced the word 'picturesque' to the English language in describing the surrounding landscape. For him it defined that kind of beauty which is agreeable in a picture.
When the river starts to turn west you will come through a beautiful valley. You will find Ship Rock high above your left shoulder. The cliffs that run along the skyline are Coldwell Rocks, home to the Peregrine falcon. The end of the line of cliffs is marked by Symonds Yat Rock.
As you come under the rocks there is a shingle beach that backs onto a meadow on the opposite side, which acts as the perfect half way stop off for a picnic or a snack.
From here the River Wye takes a long wide oval course, nearly coming back on itself at Symonds Yat. But before reaching Symonds Yat you will paddle your canoe under Huntsham Bridge (the green bridge) and it takes about 25 minutes back from here.
As you enter Symonds Yat West you will see large boulders on the left, this is the landmark we advise paddlers to remember as our landing point is on the right just opposite them.
