We are the Lower Wye Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Commencing with a walk along the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal we then begin the steep ascent through fields/rough stone tracks to reach the escarpment and being rewarded with panoramic views of the Black Mountains. After a level walk through disused quarries and Graig Y Cilau (National Nature Reserve) we descend via woodland paths and fields.
Coffee and lunch breaks (packed lunch required).
This walk is graded ““Moderate+” (Ramblers Handbook) due to the long/steep and uneven climb to the top. A good level of fitness is required for the walk.
