Leave the town square on Priory Street (signposted "Llantrisant 4") and follow the road round the corner, passing the entrance to the churchyard. Turn left at the next corner
(by the OneStop supermarket) on to Maryport Street. Continue past the
Sessions House (completed in 1878 and now the
town's Civic Centre) and
the prison and then out of town. |
Follow this road for about 1½ miles, cross the Olway Brook and reach the hamlet of Llanllowell. Opposite St Llywel's Church, take the lane on the left signposted "Usk Flood Route". (The church is first mentioned in records in 1254; St. Llywel was a Celtic saint about whom little is known. He probably lived during the sixth century.) |
