We are the Merthyr Valley Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

The walk will take us across the A465, it is a clear stretch of road and we will be able to cross easily. We will take the narrow road passed Llanvihangel Court
which we will view on our return, it is a very old manor house which is still occupied today. We are walking through the beautiful county of Monmouthshire through fields and pasture land, there is a slight incline on the first part of the walk up to a lane which runs under the Skirrid. You will be pleased to know we will not be climbing on this occasion. The walk takes us down through fields and a wooded area which has a stream and two pretty bridges. We are in the heart of the Black Mountains and the views are really lovely. It is very important that all dogs are kept on a lead through out the walk it is lambing season and there are sheep and lambs out in the fields. The walk is clearly marked in the usual way there are only two stiles, the rest have been replaced by gates.
When we return to the village a visit to the oldest pub in Wales the Skirrid which is supposed to be haunted is recommended.
Car Parking is on the road next to the church.
Parking Opposite the church.
