Access here
National Landscape status exists to conserve the landscape. It creates no right to walk, roam or camp: what you may do on the ground is set by the ordinary access law of England and Wales — the boundary crosses the border, and the rules differ on each side, plus any local byelaws and restrictions.

No listed summits inside the boundary
Our hill list is drawn from the established British and Irish hill lists — Munros, Corbetts, Grahams, Donalds, Wainwrights, Hewitts, Nuttalls and county tops — and no summit inside the Wye Valley boundary appears in it. That is a statement about our dataset, not about the walking: many designated landscapes are valued for coast, downland or moor rather than for summits those lists recognise.
