Overview

After a short climb through Rheld Woods we visit the pretty valley of the Grwyne Fawr. This is followed upstream until the lane above Llangenny is reached. The way then lies across high fields affording fine views before descending to Crickhowell and back alongside the River Usk to the start point.
