The River Usk, looking upstream,
taken from the road bridge

Turn left out of the town square and walk along the main road to the bridge over the river. Take the path called "Conigar Walk" (shown in the photo) down to the riverbank just before the bridge. (See a photo of a commemorative plaque giving the history of the bridge and another explaining the origin of "Conigar Walk".) Follow this path to the end and turn left on the Abergavenny Road. After a few minutes take the narrow, sloping path down to the riverbank and after a few hundred metres rejoin the main road.

Gwehelog Wesleyan Chapel (built in 1822)

Climb the hill and pass the small Wesleyan Chapel (built in 1822).

At Cold Harbour cross over the main road, taking care with regard to traffic, and take the lane signposted "Llandenny 1".

Pause at the top of the hill near the converted "Big Wood Barn" to admire the fine view over the rolling countryside. A few minutes later, by looking back to the left, it is sometimes possible to see Skirrid Fawr and the top of the Sugarloaf, 2 of the 3 hills near Abergavenny.

Shortly afterwards, at the crossroads where there is a postbox, take the lane on the right (not signposted to anywhere).

The Hall Inn, Gwehelog

After 1 mile take the left turn at the junction (near a green gravel bin). (NB: If, instead of turning left, you continue straight on up the steep hill at this point, you will come to the Hall Inn in Gwehelog village after 5 minutes. A good selection of meals can be had here.)
