Overview

A circular walk through woodland, wildflower meadows and farmland offering panoramic views North to the “Abergavenny Three Peaks” and beyond, and South over the Bristol Channel. We visit the ancient churches of Kilgwrrwg and Wolvesnewton.   Note that it is likely that there will be livestock in one or two fields that we walk through.
