Coppett Hill is a striking landmark in the Lower Wye Valley known for its stunning views and excellent walking trails. It's located south of Goodrich village and lies to the west of Kerne Bridge and southwest of Symonds Yat. The hill is nestled between two expansive loops of the River Wye making a great setting for hiking.

Single width lane climb up from Whitecliff from the Coleford/Newland Road. Around 1 mile long and a steady 6% gradient with a rewarding view at the end far reaching to the Brecon Beacons, also a great to take in sunset/ rise.

Buck Stone at 280 metres is a UK P100, or 'hump,' with 100 metres of prominence. The top is marked by a trig point, and the Buck Stone itself, which is a bit of a monster. It is a wedge-shaped lump that looks like it weighs at least several tons. There is also an odd-looking man-made dragon's tooth of a stone, which has an indent in the top. I am curious to know what this is? The location makes for fine views out over the countryside, and makes for a great picnic spot.

Right next to the bridge is the pub "The Boat Inn", which is a great place to stop for a bite to eat. It's only a short detour to the pub from Offa's Dyke Path.

It was a very nice and enjoyable walk good if you don't like very hill walks. when we got to the caves we decided to take another footpath that said it was quicker and because it was raining and the path was next to a cliff face we were stuck for like half an hour until we found a dirt road that lead down the hill . other than that good walk and cool bridge

The Wye was voted the nation’s favourite river in 2010. It starts not far from my home town in Brecon in mid-Wales and trundles south for some 150 miles before meeting the Severn. I have forgotten how many times I have cycled it, run it and kayaked it. Simply my favourite place on earth!
