Tipi's beside the River Wye What a great spot for a campsite. I like a tipi. This is presumably a site used by paddlers heading downstream in Canadian canoes or kayaks who stop off overnight.

Summer meadows off the Wye Valley Walk A combination of plenty of rain and today at least some sunshine has resulted in a verdant lushness in hedgerow, meadow and bank.
