EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this image of the GWR Publicity Guide - Rambles in the Wye Valley, published in 1938. This evocative travel guide, penned by Hugh E. Page, invites you to explore the breathtaking landscapes of the Wye Valley, accessible via the extensive railway network of the Great Western Railway (GWR). The guide was part of a series produced by the GWR in the 1930s, aimed at encouraging passengers to make the most of their journeys by discovering the beauty and charm of the countryside. The Wye Valley, with its picturesque villages, rolling hills, and winding rivers, was an idyllic destination for ramblers and hikers. The cover of this guide showcases the quintessential English countryside, with a tranquil river winding through lush green fields, framed by the towering trees of the valley. The title, "Rambles in the Wye Valley," is emblazoned across the top, inviting readers to embark on a journey of discovery. Inside the guide, you'll find detailed descriptions of walks and rambles, accompanied by beautiful illustrations and maps. Each route is graded according to its difficulty, ensuring that there's something for everyone, from leisurely strolls to more challenging hikes. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when travel by train was a leisurely affair, and the great outdoors beckoned adventurous souls to explore the beauty of the natural world. So, take a moment to imagine yourself stepping off the train in the heart of the Wye Valley, with nothing but the great outdoors and your trusty walking boots to keep you company.
