Back in the shop / tasting room for a tasting.14:05:18
The sparkling wine wasn't available for tasting so I bought a bottle to take home.14:10:10
Thought I'd try and get some arty shots of it out in the vineyard.
14:10:17
14:10:19
14:10:24
14:22:40
Waiting for the bus to Llandogo. Conveniently there was a pub next to the bus stop.
14:25:24
The Wye Valley Hotel.14:42:37
Walking up through the steep lanes of Llandogo.14:43:58
14:44:21
14:45:27
These steps were one of the easier parts...14:48:28
Brief glimpses of views down to the river Wye, but mot of the time there was too much tree cover.14:57:10
In the midst of the really gruelling bit where I'd somehow managed to lose the footpath, and had a very steep scramble up through the undergrowth with all my luggage.15:09:01
I was very relieved to get back to a relatively flat footpath at the top!
15:10:49
Coming into Cleddon now. I thought this cottage and its garden were rather nice.15:11:11
15:13:47
Cleddon Falls.15:15:02
Not looking quite as dramatic as usual!
15:22:26
I think this is the grounds of Cleddon Hall.15:22:37
Selfie of me looking slightly worn out after that steep climb up to Cleddon.15:24:21
Horse in a field.15:30:09
Winberry bushes.
15:31:31
Looking a bit worn out again.15:31:41
15:36:38
Log shed.15:49:59
Lovely old sign.
15:52:24
On a road leading into Trellech. Lovely sky.15:58:42
Across the meadow that lies between Trellech and the stones.16:00:52
Gate to the three stones.16:01:49
Trellech stones.

The Lion Inn at Trellech.
16:09:31
16:13:51
A variety of newspaper cuttings on the walls of the gents toilets. Spotted some people I know in them.16:49:19
Inside the Lion Inn. It had hardly changed, I am happy to report.16:49:27

Heading out of the Lion Inn now for my walk down to Monmouth.18:13:07
The road leading out of Trellech.18:15:12
I think this is where Dad used to have his horse (called Elvira) stabled.
18:21:10
I encountered a couple of these electric (?) fences across the footpath today.18:22:30
18:24:06
18:25:07
18:28:25
18:33:43
I think there was a woodpecker chick in here. I could hear it but I couldn't quite see it.18:33:49
18:35:00
Can almost see it here maybe?

19:48:19
19:52:57
19:53:55
19:54:03
Nice golden rays of light in the distance.19:56:28
The path was quite overgrown in places.19:57:07
20:04:37
20:05:19
Some of the nicest views were from around here.20:05:29
20:07:06

Fairy door?20:13:00
20:14:36
20:14:46
Not far out of Monmouth now.
20:22:46
Passed Troy House which was quite enigmatic.20:23:37
20:35:25
Finally arrived at the Premier Inn. Was meant to be a 2 hour walk from Trellech but took more like 2 and a half.
