It covers over 125 square miles along the England-Wales border, from Rhayader and Hay-on-Wye to Hereford and Chepstow, and thanks to its impressive limestone gorge scenery is considered one of the UK's most dramatic scenic areas.

The River Wye offers much for fans of watersports, with Ross on Wye one of the best places to find canoe hire facilities. There, the river is relatively wide and flat, so perfect for those new to the water - but there are more challenging places Nearby for more experiences paddlers.
