Printed, laminated A5 cards showing the walk routes, along with relevant photographs, are available at £1.00 each and can be ordered by completing the easy-to-use Order Form. The walks can also be ordered more cheaply in digital format (PDF files) by completing the alternative Order Form. There is a range of prices which reduce as the ordered quantity increases. The route cards are also available from the Cafe located in the Usk Rural Life Museum and Visitor Centre at the south west corner of the main car park. This is currently closed and it is not known when it will reopen. The
walks are checked from time to time and the itineraries revised as
necessary. The Editor cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies
in the itineraries as a result of changes (such as footpath closure or
re-routing or removal of stiles etc) which occur in the meantime. |

See a map showing the areas covered by the walks. All the walks commence in and return to Twyn Square (see map below) where there are two pubs serving food. There is also a small car park here. Although walking boots are generally advisable, particularly for the support they give the ankles, they are not necessary on some of these walks. Where boots are necessary for rough or muddy ground, it is specifically mentioned. Walk 20, though arduous, is probably the most rewarding in terms of the variety of landscape. The
Editor will be grateful for any corrections or comments about unclear
directions from people who have followed any of these walks. Click here
if you would like to submit your review of one of the above walks. A review
of Walk 15 or Walk 20 would be particularly appreciated. |
