About this Event
Walking the Wye Valley Walk 50th anniversary celebration talk
This year is the 50th birthday of the Wye Valley Walk, which started as short sections between Chepstow, Monmouth and Ross in 1975 and gradually extended to become the 138 mile classic long distance route which attracts walkers from across the UK and round the world.
Ruth Waycott, author of the guide to the new 50 Year anniversary edition of the Cicerone Guide to the Wye Valley Walk will give an illustrated talk.
The Wye Valley Walk Partnership works to conserve and enhance the natural beauty of the area by promoting its economic and social development and its suitability for quiet and informal enjoyment to the public. The team work hard to maintain the area's beauty for future generations.
Ruth wrote the guide on behalf of the partnership. She was born in Kenya but has lived in the Wye Valley and walked the paths beside the Wye for nearly forty years. After two decades working in the tourism and interpretation sector on both sides of the Wales/England border, she now works in the protected landscapes sector for the Wye Valley National Landscape team. Ruth often leads walks for refugees and minority groups, as well as for Chepstow, Ross and Hereford Walking Festivals. She loves introducing visitors to the stories and special places of the Wye Valley. She has written a handful of books, including 'Overlooking the Wye' for the Wye Valley National Landscape, and has authored many walking leaflets and trail guides.
