Overview

Join us for a fantastic walk through the Usk Valley over the Easter weekend. There may be a few steep climbs and descents, but they're worth it to reach cascading waterfalls and stunning viewpoints across the Clydach Gorge and Usk Valley. In addition to presenting a wealth of information about mining and the iron industry, which developed in the late 18th century, Clydach provides the opportunity to look at civil engineering achievements from both the 19th and 21st centuries.
