We are the Pontypool Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Initially heading South along the banks of the River Usk we then head to Bettws Newydd and visit the church and its pre-reformation rood screen, followed by a climb to Coed y Bwnydd hill fort. The walk concludes with a gentle descent to Clytha Castle and the car park. The second half of the walk offers panoramic views to the North and West including the Abergavenny Three Peaks Sections of the route are on very quiet tarmacked lanes.
Pre-booking is requested. Please message walk leader, Ken Bailey (07808 172717).
