Keepers Pond Blaenavon

From the car park we have a slight rise onto the rim of the ridge of the industrial waste from the Blaenavon ironworks, this is a protected  national heritage site.From the top on a fine day we will be able to see the channel.

We will walk  along the ridge with views over the Usk valley and the Black Mountains beyond. Descending  from the ridge we will stop for a break by the ruins of an old farm, which overlooks the heads of the valley road.  The walk will then take us  along a road which is now closed to traffic onto the quarry entrance.  We will then follow the old tramway path at the end of which we will have lunch.  Continuing our walk we will have spectacular views towards the Malvern Hills.  We will be walking over 1000ft, if it is cold warm clothes are recommended and good walking boots.
