Tintern Wireworks Bridge

Highlight • Monument

An interesting old railway bridge which I believe took industrial rail across the river to join Chepstow to Monmouth. The surrounding countryside is stunning and in the local area is Tintern Abbey as well as a sculpture park and other interesting buildings.

Tintern Abbey

Highlight • Historical Site

Beautiful abbey. Lots of pubs and the like nearby for food but I recommend the Filling Station cafe. The owners are keen cyclists and you can borrow their track pump and buy spare tyres and inner tubes, as well as your flat white and cake!

Tintern Abbey

Highlight • Historical Site

Exquisitely preserved, Tintern Abbey was founded in the early 12th century and lies on the banks of the River Wye. Whilst its roof is long gone, its exterior walls remain standing, making it quite atmospheric to explore. The structure you see today largely dates from the 13th century when the abbey was considerably renovated.

The abbey fell into ruin after the Dissolution but its fame didn't fade for long. In fact, it's been the subject of poetry and art since the 18th century, notably featuring in William Turner's painting, The Chancel and Crossing of Tintern Abbey. It's under the management of the Welsh government's Cadw department and there's an entry fee if you'd like to walk around the ruins.

Usk Road Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

It's about a 2km undulating climb. The gradient gradually increases over the first 500m, this is followed by a series of steeper ramps. The steepest of which (15-17%) are met in the final 400m.
The wide tree lined road makes a fabulous descent with it's sweeping bends and long run off at the base.
