View from Eagles Nest

Highlight • Trail

Eagles Nest is situated at the top of a steep, wooded limestone cliff and as the highest point on the Monmouthshire bank of the Wye, at 770 foot (235 m). It offers the most stunning viewpoint for miles.

Looking east it's ideal for catching the sunrise and has views across the Wye Valley, Rivers Wye and Severn, Chepstow, the Severn Bridges and the Cotswolds.

Did the climb today, which was long but never difficult. In fact, it was very enjoyable and... at long last... the temporary/permanent traffic lights are gone!
