Newland’s Abandoned Meander July 1, 2012

A walk with a geomorphological theme: the landscape will be interpreted in terms of the forces that have shaped it over millions of years. There is much of interest to see en route, including Newland village and its magnificent church (the Cathedral of the Forest), fine woodland, open fields, ancient sunken lanes, a huge valley eroded and then abandoned by the River Wye and a superb view of the Wye Gorge from its brink.
