Outside
of the Abbey grounds there are a number of walks to enjoy. Below
the Abbey are the Belmont Meadows with a pleasant walk through
the fields on public footpaths to Clehonger and its 12th Century
Church which contains the tomb of Sir Richard de Pembrugge (Pembridge)
who was one of the first knights of the Order of the Garter, founded
by Edward III.
A
longer walk through the rolling countryside takes you to Eaton
Bishop with its prized mediaeval stained glass, one of the oldest
complete examples in the country, or Madley with its pilgrimage
church and hostelry..
Across
the meadows is Belmont Golf Course with its magnificent views
over the the Wye.
