Whitney-on-Wye to Bredwardine

This section of river is much quieter than Glasbury on Wye with a landing area near Bredwardine bridge which requires prior arrangement.

Whitney-on-Wye

The Boat Inn at Whitney makes great home-cooked food and is a great place to finish your trip. The remains of Whitney Castle, which was built to guard the Welsh border, were washed away by floods. So too, were three stone toll bridges crossing the river to Clifford. The present bridge, part stone and part timber, dates from 1802. Traffic crossing it still has to pay the toll in the old tradition.

Bredwardine

A beach area near the iconic Bredwardine bridge is a popular location for people to sunbathe and swim during the summertime.
