Overview

This circular walk takes you to the sweet summit of Sugar Loaf from the town of Abergavenny. This distinctive Marilyn is a prominent landmark in all directions and at 596m is looking to be loved by you! The very worthy climb provides us with tremendous panoramic views across South Wales, the Brecon Beacons, and into south-west England. After taking in the views we descend to the west and then south via Deri Fach.
