About Us The Society was established in 1968 as a ‘preservation’ society, anxious to resist inappropriate change in and around the Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire parts of the valley. The
Society knows that our landscape cannot be preserved unchanged, but it
believes that changes should reflect existing patterns, historic features
and the natural beauty of The
society has opposed proposals for new large quarries and some large
developments within the valley, and urged caution over proposals for a
national cycleway, arguing that these should be implemented only with
local support and provided there would be no environmental damage. The society is active in other ways too. It has helped to purchase land for public access to the river bank, and identified building styles that were in keeping with the landscape. |

Our aims We
aim to
safeguard the exceptional qualities of the Lower Wye Valley Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty and to promote the conservation, protection and
improvement of its natural and physical environment.
We believe
that the beautiful countryside of the Lower Wye Valley with its river,
gorge, woods, meadows and green lanes is unique and that it must always be
protected against insensitive and intrusive development for the benefit of
residents and visitors alike.
We seek to achieve
these objectives by using our members’ local knowledge to identify
emerging problems and to develop solutions.
As a member of
the Joint Advisory Committee of the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty, we contribute to the development of policies and we liaise with
local authorities about planning issues. We aim to be vigilant and constructive.
