Overview

This 8 mile walk begins and ends in Crickhowell. Initially there is a steep climb up through the lovely Cwm Cumbeth before following the Beacons Way footpath offering beautiful views over the Usk Valley. The walk then takes us to Tretower where we will have a lunch stop. We'll then walk through fields before accessing the Glanusk estate and make our way along the riverbank back to Crickhowell.
