Overview

From Crickhowell the walk ascends Table Mountain via Cwm Cwmbeth, then contours along moorland paths to the hillfort at Crug Hywell. Weather permitting, we can enjoy extensive views to the Sugarloaf, Llangattock Escarpment and Bannau Brycheiniog etc. before descending via moorland and fields that skirt the bottom of Table mountain. Some stony and muddy paths at times.
