Overview

A circular walk, initially heading North along the East side of the Eastern Valley to Lasgarn Woods. We follow the old tramway to Cwm Lasgarn, then turn South towards Pontypool Golf Club and Trevethin Church, returning to Pontypool Park via Penygarn. Sections of the route are on very quiet tarmacked lanes and quiet residential roads.
