Narrow road bridge on the A466. Note that this is the upstream limit of tidal water. Rapids 0.5 miles downstream of bridge.

Village with shops and inn on right. There are some rapids between this point and Tintern and the banks become muddy from here.

Village on left with shops and inn. Landing at restored stone landing on left bank just upstream of bridge, although this can be awkward and muddy at low tide. No permission required. Very limited car parking in village. Alongside the river are the remains of old quays where supplies from sailing barges were loaded and unloaded in the past. Rapids below bridge when tide is out. Important: From this point, the river should only be used by canoeists with reasonable experience. There is currently no landing site at Tintern or downstream after chepstow as dangerous weirs are exposed at low water. The tide is considerable and canoeists should leave Tintern not later than one hour after high water and travel straight through to Chepstow. High water at Tintern is 4 hours before high water at Dover.

Café, Information Centre and picnic area on right.
