(S/E) From the front door of the Anchor Inn, turn left and then left again along a drive between pub and river. Follow the riverside path beyond, past a couple of cottages to a road, which you follow out to the Main Road (A466).
(1) Turn right past the Abbey Mill. When the pavement runs out, cross the main road and continue in the same direction. Return to the original side of the road when necessary and pass Tintern Garage. Just before the left turn to Catbrook, turn right down a road signposted to St Michael’s Church.
(2) Walk right of the church and pick up the riverside path beyond, crossing a series of footbridges and ignoring left turnings to the Old Station. Just before Brockweir Bridge, turn left through a gate then right up steps to the road.
(3) Turn right and cross the bridge, and follow the main village street beyond. Just after the Brockweir Inn, turn right, passing the historic Malt House on your left. Shortly afterward, turn right on a narrow metalled path that winds between houses and gardens to pass the white-painted Moravian Church.
Cross a stile into fields and follow the riverbank. Shortly before the end of the field, follow the path left, away from the river, to a stile into a bridleway.
(4) Turn right and follow the track as it climbs gradually through the trees. At a junction with a low wall to the right, go straight on, downhill.
(5) When this steep path meets the former tramway, turn right, then bear left to the Wireworks Bridge. Walk out to the main road, turn left, and retrace your steps to the Anchor. (S/E)
