Ross Walkers are Welcome (RWaW) has been busy together with the Wye Valley National Landscape (was AONB) to improve footpath access locally – replacing stiles with gates – or gaps! Since April 2023 40 new gates have been installed; with another 35 for this winter.
Installation has been done by Enviroability, Herefordshire Ramblers and a team of local volunteers – supported by Herefordshire Council PROW.
The leaflets are downloadable and there is also a GPX file (see note below) for those of you who can use it. This site is managed by unpaid volunteers. If you have enjoyed the walks please consider making a small donation towards our overheads. Please go to JustGiving. Any comments or questions please contact.
