Overview

Walking out of Crickhowell High school we will pick up a path along the river, before crossing over to Llangattock to walk a section along the Mon and Brecon canal. The walk then crosses the canal and through Coed Ffawyddog to ascend to Ffawaddog common where we will follow shady paths back down to the canal and then through fields and woodland back to Crickhowell.
