Walking in Pontypool and beyond

Pontypool Ramblers group was formed in 1967 and is now a flourishing and friendly group in South Wales. The areas we include in out walks programme vary from the eastern side of the Brecon Beacons National Park, to the South Wales Valleys and also to the Wye Valley.  We usually run 2 walks per week, alternating between Saturdays and Sundays, and Tuesdays and Wednesdays. We also run well-supported social events often with guest speakers, and we arrange an annual 7-days group holiday based in popular walking areas of the UK. Join us on our walks and see some of the best countryside in South Wales.
