A group of walkers at the Giant's Cave in the Wye Valley

This group of retired walkers were enjoying the viewing platform just outside the Giant's Cave as I approached and was spotted by their little dog. They were a mix of local and not so local fellers who were enjoying their firm friendships, relaxed banter, outdoor exercise and the good weather. Not a bad way to spend some of your retirement.

The northern entrance to the Giant's Cave on the Wye Valley Walk

Yes, you are expected to enter or exit through this aperture. It's easier and more fun than it looks. One of many interesting features on this section of the WVW.

The view across the graceful curve of the River Wye onto the Lancaut peninsula and above that up to Wintour's Leap and the great cliffs near Woodcroft.

The Grotto in Piercefield Woods

This feature, along with several others on a similar 'Romantic' theme, was installed in Piercefield Park and woods and comprised part of a tour through this area between around 1760 and maybe the 1820's. Gentry came from various parts of the country and toured the Wye Valley inspecting folly's, caves, walks, viewpoints and landscapes and often recording their opinions and thoughts in journals and publications. Originally this grotto was of course larger, more complete and lined inside with 'glittering crystalline minerals, glass fragments and iron and copper slag'. This would have created an elaborate decorated effect intended to mimic naturally occurring outcrops. I'm glad to see the Piercefield Walks features receiving some improvement.

View from The Alcove in Alcove Wood

This is another welcome viewpoint on the Wye Valley Walk, just outside Chepstow and offers an excellent perspective on the castle, River Wye and the Lancaut peninsula.
