104: Monmouth and the Kymin (Wye Valley and Forest of Dean 2018)

WYE VALLEY AND FOREST OF DEAN WALK FEATURING MONMOUTH AND THE KYMIN

"Monmouth and the Kymin”
Filmed 2nd June 2018
Post-production completed 7th September 2018

I return to the South Wales town of Monmouth, which I last visited some 24 years earlier. It turns out to be a scorching hot day as I explore the pretty town and follow a little of the Wye Valley Walk as far as Redbrook. My return to Monmouth then takes me along another section of Offa’s Dyke Path, which slowly climbs up high to reach a wonderful location known as the Kymin…..

Filmed in the Wye Valley in the county of Monmouthshire. Locations include Monmouth, the Wye Valley Walk, Redbrook, Offa’s Dyke Path and the Kymin. This is part of the series of films in 2018 celebrating 25 years of “The Solitary Rambler”.

Written, researched, directed, camera and sound, edited and music by Patrick Leach.

"The Solitary Rambler" is my series of amateur films of my journeys in the countryside accompanied by my own musical scores, which I compose and perform on my Yamaha keyboard.

Please note that, as with all the films I make, this is not actually intended to be an extensive guide to the area. This is a mini-movie of my personal journey along the walk, in which I often share some of my own personal stories.

If you are new to my channel, I strongly recommend reading the description under the “about” tab, which will provide a clearer understanding of what to expect in my films:    / solitaryrambler
