TheCaptain visited on 27th May 2019 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Well preserved and significantly built section of Offa's Dyke high up on the eastern side of the River Wye near the village of Brockweir. The Offa's Dyke path is well used here, and in places offers splendid views over the river to Wales, especially at the well known "Devil's Pulpit" rock stack allowing intrepid visitors a superb vista of Tintern Abbey.
