* HISTORY GROUP - DOWN THE WYEHISTORY GROUP - DOWN THE WYE

Time: 7:00 pm

“DOWN THE WYE WITHOUT A PADDLE” This is the History Group\'s next talk, and also part of a social gathering, on the 28th July starting 7pm with doors open 6.30pm Memorial Hall. “Down the Wye without a paddle” is being delivered by a Forest of Dean and Wye valley tour guide. The talk focuses on the 18th century river cruises down the Wye from Ross to Chepstow that initiated British tourism. It is 250 years since William Gilpin took a boat tour down the river Wye in 1770 from Ross to Chepstow. Gilpin was a pioneer of the “picturesque” and his ideas led to the concepts of landscape appreciation and conservation culminating in the designation of protected landscapes -our National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in 1971. You will hear how both Turner and Wordsworth amongst others were attracted to this area. You can find out more from www.gilpin2020.org, www.wyevalleyaonb.org.uk and www.visitmonmouthshire.com
