The memorial garden is a peaceful spot and I sat on a bench there for a little while enjoying the sunshine and birdsong. Looking at the map I had picked up in Shire Hall, I noticed a footpath from the lane I was in that crossed over the river, across open land, and back round to Minnow Bridge, so I decided to give this a try.
The steps down to and into the boat were a little tricky, but everyone safely boarded. We were told about how extraordinary flooding in recent years had affected the locality, and of some huge salmon caught in the river by famous fisherwomen. We were accompanied on the boat by a duck who seemed perfectly at home.
Roedd taith Dyffryn Gwy yn ddiwrnod hyfryd – hamddenol, addysgiadol, a diddorol. Roedd pawb i weld yn cael amser hyfryd. Rwyf, am un, yn gobeithio mynd draw i Symonds Yat West eto i archwilio'r Sw Glöynnod Byw a'r Ddrysfa Hedge sydd hefyd ar yr un safle. Diolch i Glenys a drefnodd y daith.
