Find Your Flow on the Wye

The River Wye is more than just one long, beautiful stretch of water, it’s a journey, changing character as it winds through wild hills, market towns, steep valleys and storybook villages. That’s why we’ve split the area into four easy-to-follow sections.


Whether you're in the mood for a peaceful paddle, a lively literary weekend, a family day out, or a deep countryside escape, there’s a patch of the Wye that will fit just right.

The Source
Rhayader to Builth Wells...
This is the wild heart of the Wye. Rugged, remote, and refreshingly raw.

Dip Your Toes into Wales
Builth Wells to Hay-on-Wye and beyond...
A picturesque stretch, great for canoeing the wye, exploring the near by hills or spending hours browsing bookshops!



City Meets Countryside
Hereford to Ross-on-Wye...
A gentler stretch, perfect for those not wanting to be too remote and close to all the action in the city.

Where the Wye Wanders Deepest
Ross-on-Wye to Chepstow...
This is the Wye at its most dramatic and poetic. Think ancient ruins, soaring cliffs, and storybook woodland.
