Overview

We will walk past the Skirrid Mountain Inn and down to the Afon Honddu.  We'll follow the river to towards Pandy and pick up the Offas Dyke path which will take us up to Llangattock Lingoed, where will have our lunch stop.  The Hunters Moon Inn will unfortunately not be open but the next door Norman church is interesting and has benches. Footpaths and a very minor road will join us up with the Beacons Way to take us back to Llanvihangel Crucorney.  Can be lovely views throughout but there will be some mud.  There are no long ascents on this walk but it is undulating throughout with some steep ascents. Mostly kissing gates but there are approximately 4 styles.
