Overview

A varied walk starting in Crickhowell and ascending via Cwm Cwmbeth and the Beacons Way to offer excellent views of the Brecon Beacons (weather dependent). Lunch will be taken at Tretower Court and Castle and, following a walk through the very peaceful Glanusk Estate, our return is via paths south of the River Usk.
