GOLF! Kayaking, Walking! Foxes Reach is ideally placed for golf with 20 or so courses in under an hours drive. We have a lockablle store for your clubs and we can even help you to locate a caddy.
The kayaking in the Wye is excellent. Bring your own or rent locally ( help available for beginners)
Walking- well what can we say. Paths and lanes from the doorstep. Long distance Offas Dyke and Wye Valley walk right here, closeby the Forest of Dean and the open mountain of the Brecon Beacons. At Chepstow the start of the Wales Coastal Path (so you could go all round the coast and back via Offas Dyke!) Fabulous.
Idyllic location for exploring the Wye Valley
