Dist:0.6km<br/>The Wye, like any major river, is great to watch at any time of year and this bench has been thoughtfully sited to give a great view up and downstream and to the opposite bank. It has the word 'Private' painted on it, which is slightly confusing. I took it to refer to the fishing rights here, meaning specifically that the stretch of water is owned and therefore can only be fished by a club, the owner of the rights etc. The bench is not private. I used it anyway for a (very) quick brew and blood sugar fix.
